SANTA INEZ, BAJA CALIFORNIA, Mexico -- Drove 146 miles. Up the spine of the Baja to a no-frills but secure location to break up a long drive. Explore lunar landscape Baja national park.
The park we drove to was indeed 'no-frills'. At one time the Mexican government decided to build RV parks to encourage tourism. Then they gave the parks to citizens to run them. This was one of those parks. The 'citizens' had stripped all the wiring, plumbing, lighting, etc and took off for parts unknown. They left this abandoned park which was beautiful but can only be used for dry-camping.
We arrived in the afternoon and took a cactus walk to see the variety surrounding the area. This is a part of the Baja Preservation Forest.
Our group had a potluck with the wagonmaster providing Mexican Hot Dogs. We then had a Mexican Gift Exchange -- each of us chose an item to 'gift' and we drew & exchanged until the items all found homes. It was fun & funny.
Our potluck was at 4pm because it gets very dark, very early here. We were back 'home' before 6 pm.
