Kino Bay to Huatabampio:
Well last night I wrote about the last sunset in Kino Bay for awhile. Possibly his should be like the old surfer movie and just call this trip “The Endless Sunset”.
We are on a beach at the El Mirador Restaurant run by Enrique and his family and we stayed on this same beach when visiting here with my sister years ago. Somewha off the beaten path but endless miles of beach with no one on it. We are this time in a campground with real electricity. Last time it was just the beach which was nice and the police checked on us three times in the night to make sure that we were ok. Even had some ice cream with them.
As you can see if I was able to post the pictures the sunsets here are just great. No islands but this is a huge long peninsula with I am told the only south facing beach for hundreds of miles.
We ate at the El Mirador this evening and the Talapia (a fish) was really well prepared and very fresh. Tomorrow I will go over and use their internet and try to post the last two days.
We travelled thru some of the richest farmland you can imagine with huge fields of grain and potatoes. This is delta land and the soil is rich and the smells of the farm produce hang in the air. Going thru town of Obregon and Navajoa we then travelled to the coast to get here.
We have bypassed Alamos a favorite stopover for us and seeing out friend Tom Harkness who lives there permanently now and also a visit to the Copper Cyn. Maybe, on the way back I would like to go there again if time permits. For now the adventure carries us further south.
Tomorrow we will be in either Culiacan or Mazatlan. If it is Mazatlan then we will have reached the furthest point south that Bev and I have ever driven before. It was in the early 70’s that we took our then El Camino with the camper shell and drove to Mazatlan. The roads then were two lane and everyone then thought that we were crazy. The roads are better but everyone now knows that we are a little off the center line of normal. Well we still have fun and if you are the odd person in the crowd it does not bother or affect you personally, only those around you.
Well so much for philosophizing for tonight. It is late and time to read before I fall asleep.
