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.
