While the journey to get here was, at times, steering-wheel clenching, once we arrived and got our rig parked this (above) was our breathtaking view from our doorstep. Mere footsteps to the high tide mark...

Honestly, we hadn't done much real true boondocking....oh, a night here and there - but we were talking serious life without plugging in or hooking up the hose to a water faucet. We don't have solar or a water pump...we do have a generator and good friends! (Solar is the next addition once we get home in the spring) Not everyone who travels this far (650 miles from the Arizona border) have rigs...some people actually camped in tents....motor homes are abundant as are travel trailers....
Tiny Airstream or Tiny Teardrop (behind the yellow tent room addition)
The problem of fresh water was solved by Emilio who provided us with a 55 gallon plastic barrel and delivered water as needed, along with fresh fruits and veggies every morning at 7am....if he didn't have what you wanted-just ask and he would deliver it the next day....Fresh tamales, empanadas, and tortillas could also be purchased.
Fresh Fish delivered several times a week unless you catch it yourself ....we had an abundance of shrimp and scallops in our diet....
Other Beach Vendors.....daily visitors (to all of the beach camp grounds) made the rounds including Sundays and holidays...

The locals are extremely industrious and have created/delivery systems for the services that we "gringos" are accustomed to having...examples: the wash/waxing of your vehicles, (including the RV), delivery of pre-ordered roasted chicken and pizza, clothing and jewelry; to name just a few.
We really didn't need to drive into Mulege (approx. 22 miles) for goods unless we wanted too....or you needed fresh RO water, propane, laundry or needed to make a call.
Cell phone coverage started about 15 miles from our beach, ....and unless you were prepared with a satellite dish - no TV. Several businesses in/near town did have free WiFi - but we quickly aligned ourselves with few of the interruptions that I take for granted most days.
Sunset - same spot as sunrise....ahhh, the best in life
PART TRES - Baja Adventure continues with activities...
