We continued our journey traveling to La Paz and then south along the west coast. We were going to stop at San Pedrito RV Park and so drove down the road that we thought went to it. The road was very sandy and not well maintained at all. But our book, Camping Mexico’s Baja, said this was a great place to stay. We then decided it was not worth it, and were looking for a place to turn around when the truck got stuck in sand. Two fellows stopped to assist us and with wheels spinning and sand flying, Raymond got the truck out. We later learned that the campground was closed.
We could not find any other campgrounds, so we continued on to Cabo San Lucas. Ten years ago we spent our honeymoon here and thought we would revisit the area. When we were here before we were really pleased with the simplicity of the place and although we knew that it would not be the same, we were amazed at the change. The developers have move in and there are nothing but beach resorts and condos. We drove through Cabo and thought we would try to find a campground nearby and take a day trip back. We drove on in search of another campground that was listed in our book. We followed the instructions given and again found ourselves on a sandy road. We never found the campground, so assume that it also has been closed. Raymond managed to turn the truck and trailer around and we continued our search for a campground. We had now been on the road (and stuck in the sand) for about 12 hours and it was getting dark. We drove to Los Barriles and asked some people on the street if they knew where an RV park might be. They gave us directions and at last we found a place to stay for two nights – East Cape RV Resort. We decided that we would not make the day trip back to Cabo San Lucas as it had changed so much and we wanted to remember it as it was. We had our anniversary dinner at a restaurant by the East Cape RV Resort. We both had shrimp and it was delicious! On January 18 we toured the town of Los Barriles and rested for the day.

We left Los Barriles early this morning and drove all the way back to Palapa 206 RV Park. We will continue our journey tomorrow traveling back to paradise – Playa El Coyote campground on the beach and hope we can find a spot to park.
