We are safely tucked into our camping spot at Ojo De Liebre Lagoon Campground GPS N27°44.765 W114°01.270 . It is located south of Guerrero Negro. We can look to the west and see the great Pacific Ocean. Tomorrow, or the next day, we will go whale watching.
Last night we stayed at the Sonora RV Campground. This morning we drove to the virtually abandoned onyx mining site called El Marmol. On the site is also an old school house built entirely of onyx and it is falling apart. Onyx looks like marble when it is polished and is quite pretty. There is also a cemetery. We found our geocaching treasure box located here.
We also did some geocaching in the Catavina boulder fields. There are huge masses of granite boulders for miles and here we also located the largest Cardon (cactus) in Baja.
This afternoon we crossed over the border between Baja California and Baja California Sur. The military was not in sight, but the Agriculture Department men took our oranges, bananas and potatoes. We think they just wanted something for their supper! They also charged a fee to spray our tires. This is supposed to combat the spread of farm diseases.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that we went through a military checkpoint yesterday and they wanted to look in the trailer. Raymond took them back and I stayed in the truck. They checked a few drawers and tapped on the walls above the TV area. We were surprised they didn’t want to look into the back of the truck.
The cel we have tried 1 403/01 403/001 403/010 403 need code to get out of BAJA. We have service
but asked in Spanish what we need!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mom, Checked with Customer Service at Telus and they say they do not have roaming in Mexico and this is why the phone does not work. No sure this is true but will check with the telus guys at hockey on thursday to verify. Will let you know.
Hope you are having fun
Kevin
