Day 22 and 23. FEBRUARY 28 and 29, 2018. A Wednesday and Thursday and beyond.

Unfortunately this leg of our adventure is wrapping up. Zack Attack has to be back in San Diego in a couple days to fly out for some training. Boo. In any event, we said goodbye to the magical Ojo de Liebre and went into the town of Guerrero Negro to get water and gas and the like. And also tacos. Any town visit means tacos. We decided to head north toward San Quintin for the night. We stopped for lunch along the way in a little roadside place that seemed to have pretensions to be fancy, but was also straddling the line of funky roadhouse for the bikers that come through. Beer cans were strewn from the ceiling while the tables were carefully decorated with red vinyl cloths and napkins artfully swirled in wine glasses. Needless to say, I quite liked it’s split personality.

San Quintin was a bigger town than I had expected or Zack Attack had remembered from a prior fishing trip, but we eventually made our way to the Old Mill restaurant hotel as it was getting dark. It was quaint and secluded and cozy, right on the water. We had dinner at the restaurant which included a margarita for me and just camped in their parking lot for the night. It was pretty much us and a group of guys on a motorcycle tour. After a walk around the waterfront in the morning we headed on and stopped back in Valle de Guadalupe for more wine and another taste of the heavenly food bits offered at the Adobe Guadalupe Winery Food Truck. We spent the night just down the road at a little rv park in a grove of olives. Another camper was there, but we never did see the host. Back to San Diego tomorrow and I’ll be staying out in Alpine in the Grolar Bear with the Wonder Beast while Zack attack journeys back east. Alpine is in eastern San Diego and a little bit more rural so a nice transition from Baja. Here the neighborhood dogs still run free and the coyotes can still be heard to lament to the moon. Jasper is my new doggo best friend. He knows I’ll throw the ball for him whenever he pleases and if he catches me unawares he can steal a bit of Malachi’s food. Not sure where we are going next, but it may be a couple weeks so I’ll definitely be ready for the next adventure.
