At Guererro Negro, BCS at the Malarrimo Hotel/RV park 2 nights. Whale watching today. Saw lots of Gray whales...........mommas and babies close by. Close enough to see barnacles, but they did not venture up to the boat. Were told the mommas wait until their babies are older before allowing them to get near a boat. It was a fine day. Calm water. Am sitting outside my RV with Chet, but bundled up as a front moves in. Feels like it might rain.

Were given a verbal tour of the salt processing facility as we drove by on our way to board one of the whale watching boats. Guererro Negro is a town here because of the salt processing plant. The company was required to build a town along with their plant and now there is a community of 15,000 souls in the desert with no other towns nearby.

Tomorrow we drive to Santispac Beach just south of Mulege. This is a beach on the Bay of Concepcion and a most beautiful bay it is. Google it and see.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, the drive to here was spectacular. You have heard me before exclaim how I love to see the Boojum trees and the huge boulders. Our leader described one spot in the boulder country thus: "it looks like God swept the boulders into a pile and forgot to pick them up". It is a fitting description. There had been recent rain as all the plants were green. I have never seen a Boojum look so healthy all covered in tiny green leaves, as were the Elephant trees and the Ocotillo. Many of the Boojum were blooming with a yellow-orange sparay of blossoms. The spanish name of the Boojum tree means "tapered candle" and the Boojum with its yellow-orange spray on top makes it look like a tapered candle.

I don't expect wifi again until I reach Loreto 3 days from now.
