Canon De Guadalupe and Border Crossings




Our hot spring oasis. We drove on a dry lake bed in the middle of the desert for 30 miles to reach this oasis compliments of a hot spring coming out of the mountain. Each campsite had its own private rock made bath filled with warm water. We watched the sunrise on the reddish mountains surrounding us with hummingbirds visiting the ocotillo in bloom. It was magnificant to spend our last two nights in Mexico under the most beautiful full moon, sitting in warm waters reminiscing about our last two months in Baja. Phelan's favorite day was a day spent with Steve and the boys and about 30 army plastic guys in the sand in San Felipe. The built a fort against the waves and would dive away and retreat from the waves. I wasn't there but he remembers that very clearly. Ryder's favorite experience was playing with his friend David in San Felipe, riding bikes around the campground and attempting to play games speaking not a word of eachother's language. Steve's favorite was driving the epic Highway 5 for six hours and mine was a hike with the boys in the desert where we tried to figure out the different animal tracks in the sand. It was all good and all beautiful. We will miss Baja and will definately return, hopefully with friends and kids and many many bike tubes!
