Baja & The Whales In The Spring
#1
Posted 24 November 2012 - 10:07 PM
We had a wonderful time last Spring and I encourage any of you who have never been to "The Whales" to join us for a life altering experience. One of the really great things about traveling with Gene Rubin and Phil Salazar et al is we have live music every night.
I'm not in charge of any of this ( I gave that up when I retired) so folks can plan their own agenda. As we get closer to leaving I'll give you Pam and my agenda so you'll know where we'll be on specific dates.
If you have any fears I can only tell you that there is safety in numbers and we had absolutely no incidents last spring nor did any of the people we ran into on the trip. Here's a video taste of our trip;

Here is a related quote I came across:
"Life was hard for the pioneers but every now and again, someone would get out the fiddle and make it all worse."

Hey Y'all
There were some scheduling problems and the San Ignacio time line needed to be modified slightly. So here is the new Itinerary for those of us crossing at Mexicali;
Early A.M Friday March 29th - Cross into Mexico at Mexicali
After getting tourist cards on the 29th we head for Gonzaga.
We'll spend Friday night March 29th and Saturday March 30th in Gonzaga.
Sunday March 31, after stopping for a $20 beer at Coco's Corners, we'll make our way to Laguna San Ignacio and camp there overnight.
Whales on Monday April 1st.
We plan to leave the lagoon when we get back in from whale petting April 1st and head over to Bahia Concepcion.
Last year we used this operator to go out into the lagoon;

Because of their location it is a shorter boat ride out to the whales but a much longer drive and difficult to find at night.
When we first went out to the whales over 20 years ago we used Pachico. He and his famed boatman Chema are legend down there. Pachico used to be El Ejido Presidente. It's much easier to drive to his camp and even though the boat ride is a bit longer you still spend the same amoung of time with the whales. So after confering with a few of my fellow travelers we decided to use Pachico this year.

After the whales Pam and I would like to stay at Santispac or some other nice beach on the Sea of Cortez side for a few days. I know some folks want to go surfing over on the Pacific side but I think we're going to spend some time kayaking in Bahia Concepcion but we're flexible to all ideas so let me know yours.

I totally agree. Getting into camp in the dark last year was an exhausting travail with all the dirt roads heading off in all sorts of directions. Finding Pachico's campo is simple and an the extra 20 minutes on the boat to reach the whale viewing area is a smooth ride. Plus, I'm happy to support the "real McCoy" rather than the "me too's" who came along years later with their American funding.
