17 November ‘09 Look to Google Earth at 26.59364N, 109.58949W to find us today at El Mirador RV Resort on the shores of the Sea of Cortez and the beach community of Huatabampito, Sonora, Mx.
Out of the mountains and back to the Sea of Cortez. Huatabampito is a hidden beach area that is just about straight west of Navojoa. It only took us just over 2 hours to get here from Alamos, but the difference is staggering. All there is here is a white sandy beach with Aqua Blue water washing up to the door of our motor home. We are but 2 of the 5 RV’s here and we all have beach front standing. Unfortunately the economy and the US press running the “drug wars” scare has set back business for those that have opened their doors to the RV community over the past years.

Louise and I have been the only RV in some parks and it still continues as we head south. This afternoon Sol, Carol, Louise and I drove out to a small fishing village about 5 miles down the coast. We were looking for a good deal on large shrimp. Well, we found them and we found more… we purchased totally 3 kilos of jumbo shrimp for $100 pesos a kilo or about $7.50 for over 2 lbs. We also purchased 10 Pacific Spinney Lobster for the same price of $100 a kilo. With lobster being on the menu for our evening BBQ, we went to bed a little later feeling like “Extra” Happy Campers… One pretty big negative that we’ve been experiencing since our camping just north of Los Angles, California and all the way down here is, mosquitoes and “no-see-ums”…it’s about ready to drive us nuts.
