Started reminiscing after Bob's Baja video post and found these June 1981 Kodachromes from my first (okay, second but no picture evidence from the first Nov '77 trip so it doesn't really count) trip down to Bahia de las Animas. Right after graduation, headed down in Richard's Datsun PU and my Superbeetle. Made it down and back with plenty of time to spare before grad school smile

You guys must have pics of your first trip down. Would love to check them out. Tom

The road out to Bahia de las Animas wasn't the nice gravel road it is now. The last mile or so was a silty nightmare with lots of shovel work required.

Nice view of the bay and the two islands offshore. Nearly died of fright snorkeling out to them when a school of big mahi-mahi zoomed by about ten feet in front of us.
