Misiones RV Park Ciudad Constitucion BCS, Mexico

We really liked the town of Loreto with its gentle breeze, sunshine, sparkling waters in the Sea of Cortez, and its kind and gracious people.

Our last glimpses of the Sea of Cortez.

A rose planted at a memorial.

We were headed back across the Sierra La Giganta in the RV this time and on pavement!

We settled at the Misiones RV Park in Ciudad Constitucion. We were warmly welcomed by the owner. We had a brunch of eggs in her small restaurant adjacent to the campground. She chatted with us, answering questions, and offered to take our postcards into town. She also called for prices for whale watching tours.

We decided to follow Route 22 out of town to San Carlos.

The very nature of exploring implies that you don’t know what you will find at the end of the road you are traveling. Most of the time we are pleasantly surprised. The village of San Carlos had a power plant puffing away. The center of town had many abandoned buildings and lots of very small shacks.

There was also a fish packing plant that smelled rather organic.

We took a sandy road that led us to a derelict fish camp.

On our way in we passed a beer truck on that sandy road. We wanted to find out where it had made its beer delivery. We finally arrived at this little spot.

We were still not disappointed. We saw lots of osprey and open flat land. The air was balmy and warm. If it is our quest to see the real Baja…then this back-country road is all part of the bigger picture.
