Rocky Point to El Golfo de Santa Clara, Mexico

Monday May 19

On Monday, we had a late (9:30) breakfast at Cindy Lou's restaurant in Three Points, AZ (west of Tucson). However, it was pretty early if you've just come down from observing at the telescope. The chicken fried steak was very fine. Then we headed for Mexico. After crossing the border at Lukeville, AZ, we stopped at the East section of the Pinacate reserve to look at maar Crater Elegante. The present entrance (Km 52 on Hwy 8) fee is $4 per person per day, and worth it even for this brief look at one crater. We stayed at two condos on Sandy Beach that Bob M. owns, so the luxury was a bit higher than on the standard wheelin' trip. We started the evening in Rocky Point with shrimp cocktails, and worked our way along to a real fish dinner after that.


On the rim of Elegante.....Bob isn't going to lose a hat to this one.
