Friday 26 February – Puerto Penasco / Challo Bay


We got up today and did some serious loafing. After gazing into the sea until our tea got cold, we showered and did some blogging. Around non, we drove out to Challo Bay. Another very nice spot taken over by Arizona. We drove up some serious dunes until the Tacoma started to complain and then got out and took some pictures. We visited some beach condos on the way back. The building bust in Arizona has spilled into Puerto Penasco making it a buyers market. Cash gets you a discount. For $200k, this is a view from the front patio.


We returned to the harbor and had more fish tacos and beer. We then went to the grocery store and restocked for our next four days, gassed up the truck, and broke down much of camp. We plan to get an early start tomorrow. We will take the “new” road to San Luis Rio Colorado, where we will rejoin Hwy 2. We will cross the Colorado river then drive west through Mexicali to Guadalupe Canyon.
