Finally caught up on blog posts!

February 10, 2017 - Since there is often a long delay between writing a blog and actually posting it, thought I'd start to include dates.

We left Cabo Frailes on Feb 7 and made the trek back to the Pacific side, giving the solo biker Brent a lift back to Highway 1 and saving him a day of hard riding. We used the new toll highway between the Cabo airport near San Jose del Cabo to north of Cabo San Lucas. It was expensive but was worth every penny as it saved us going through the slow snarls of traffic in those two large tourist towns, though we did exit into CSL for supply stops at Costco and Walmart. We had hoped Costco would be stocking the camp chairs that Andrew lost to the fire, but no such luck. However, Costco did carry flats of Pacifico beer and their own Kirkland Signature reposada tequila amazingly cheap, so it was worth the diversion!

Spent a few nights at our little El Litro park to load up with water, snag a hot shower, and reconnect with friends there, then moved to the free beach boondocking site south of Todos Santos called Pescadaro. There is a large community of about 20 RVs and many tents here, and some couples we've met before at other sites including Saint Alice. We even hooked up with a couple from Langley who we'd first met the night before crossing the border at Potrero County Park. They have a massive fifth-wheel, about 40 feet long, that they live in full-time and pull with a custom Ford diesel F450 4X4, plus a dune buggy they use for getting into town.

This area is popular with surfers due to the way the waves break and thus enjoys a much younger crowd. The beach is nice and some rocky areas actually create small tide pools that are perfect for swimming lessons for Coco. There is even a small little bar catering to the residents. Everyone here has at least one dog or several, so Coco is making lots of friends and getting more accustomed to her "kind" all the time. This morning she play-fought with a 10-month-old border collie named Jenny, jumping and yapping having a great time. Jenny's owner, Andreas from Germany, found the whole scene so cute he wanted to take a picture. He said Jenny hates getting her picture taken so tried to hide the camera at his hip, but the snapping noise alerted her and sure enough - play time was over and Jenny angrily strode away. No amount of cajoling from Andreas would bring her back...the dog was actually mad at getting her picture taken! I've never seen something so bizarre!

I know I'm probably getting a bit repetitious saying we're in paradise, but...well, it is. Apologies to everyone shivering in the snow ;-)
