i wish everyone would stop posting Bahia trips as it disturbs my sleep with dreams of fresh clams,triggerfish sunsets sunrises,quite times nice people i could go on for ever.back to the real world i like jays idea of a group trip,(small group)things are slowly changing in Bahia as anyone who has spent time there knows. i feel the days of camping on remote beaches and being able to leave your camp while you spend the day kayaking are ending.we have always remote camped but the last two trips while at remote camps on boat landing type of beaches we have once been hassled by 3 in a truck who tried to pass themselfs off as fishery enforcers collecting fees to use beach,small pay off to end hassle but it does leave a ? in regards to leaving camp without someone to watch ,2nd encounter was army patrol on another beach who flatly told us to pack up and leave beach no reason given,might of been that they had a good reason who knows.i guess what it comes down is we are getting to mellow to put up with worrying about these kind of things .thats is where jays idea is of merit ,a small group give each person the freedom to enjoy the experience without the worry.from reading most of posts on site i get the impression that most of us would respect each others space on a trip like this.possibly if there was any firm interest a weeks trip to bahia gonzaga and area could be sort of a test to see if this could work,one point i would add is that to enjoy a trip to this area 4x4 would almost be required.this being said there are other trips that would not require 4x4 but would probably be of interest to others. ready to listen to everyones input,as to us we are always up for a trip as we control our time and dont have to plan to far ahead.drive slow and enjoy "its the journey"

on the shade,

It seems like the model Sunman is running would handle the wind a bit better than the model I've been using. Maybe not as much actual shade area though.Both are made by Kelty

a previously posted shade shot..

LaQuinta Les nailed it. There is no question there is safety in numbers albeit small numbers. Especially in the more remote areas. Although where Sun Man went on the Pacific side (Vizcaino) I've never had a problem. Still it would be fun to have a samll group.

Do we still have to call you Sun Man?

How about a trip in Feb to Laguna San Ignacio?

Looks like a great trip.
SWIMPAL, the dogs and I are headed down that way next Tuesday for about 2 weeks.
This trip we are planning on concentrating our travels around Asuncion, Abreojos, Mulege and Bahia Concepcion.
We might be up for a group trip in the future also.
San Ignacio could be fun.
I think a group trip to Las Animas just past BOLA would be a good call for the winter as well. It's somewhat sheltered from the northerly winds.

It's a Kelty Carport (medium), similar to the Kelty shade structure you may have seen in some of Tomas Tierra's posts. It's made for rigs with roof racks and velcros nicely to the rack, pretty bombproof. I'm thinking it may work well as a vestibule on a FWC/ATC awning too.

Aw Jay, stealing my anonymity!! You can call me Suni (pronounced Sonny) if you like. Sunman was my "call sign" given to me by the Tomcat pilots I used to work with out here at Mugu.
