Best of Baja

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I must have taken close to 200 pictures but will only spare you 25 or so, if you can bare with me. Enjoy.This picture was taken in 1984 (25 yrs. ago). This is our son Danny at 2 or 3 years of age. He always carried his beloved crocheted pillow wherever he went. We camped on the beach 30 miles south of San Felipe, Mexico with our good friends Shawn and Jane. Who by the way weren't married yet. Shawns parents built a beautiful beach house right near where we camped a few years later. We've been meeting together at the beach house about once a year eversince.
This is the beach house we stay in. The waves have taken away some of the shoreline so they lined the cliff with big telephone poles to protect it from any more erosion.
The tide goes out twice a day. It's quite rocky in some spots. But fun to look for sea creatures.
This is the new LDS chapel in San Felipe. They translate the service in english for the gringos.
Fresh Mango's are the best.
We were the only ones in this restaurant "Taco Factory" which is usually crowded. The economy is really slow. The service was slo and not so delicious as years past. We'll probably try something else next time.
View from the beach house.
Getting ready for a night ride.
Bonfire with a few skyrockets, the s'mores were especially delicious.
Rick coming in after a long motorcycle ride with Shawn.
Alien space men found lurking around the corner.
Kenzie and Moriah collecting shells at Shell Beach.


The sunsets were especially spectacular.
Rick and Shawn planning their next Baja trip on motorcycles. Serious business.
Beautiful sunrise.
Jeep rides on the beach.
Dead sea lion on beach with vulchurs up on the mesa waiting for us to leave.
Great lighting just before sunset down by shell beach. It rained on us while we were taking pictures and a rainbow came out. We also saw lighting off in the distance. The weather was in the 80's we've never felt it so pleasant in all our years coming down to Baja.
Shawn, Jane, Nancy and Rick



Adios Amigos......till next year.
Zach, McCall, Shawn, Jane, Moriah, Kenzie, Nancy, Rick
