Today just couldn't suck. We had very little in the way of plans. This was an area I'd never been to, so I was excited to see some new things and explore.
We'd hit a lot of silt beds while driving along old race course sections and a lot more were to come. It makes for a very dusty back half of your truck.
We tooled along the coast alternating between a bit of high speed fun and sightseeing at slow speeds.
More Dr. Seuss tree's abound.
Eventually we popped back onto familiar terrain and into El Rosario. We sat down and had the best fish taco's I've ever had. I do mean, ever. I am still dreaming about them a little bit. Fill up the tanks and head back to the coast.
Hmmm, seems like a nice bluff. Let's go into lowrange and check out that next steep hill.
JACKPOT.
Group shot while looking for a way down to the beach.
Now, we need to find a way down there. I was skeptical. It was late in the day and we'd already spent a lot of hours driving. The beach below had no vehicle tracks on it at all. That made me think it was inaccessible all the more.
We headed back away from the ocean and found a small dirt tracking heading north. The sun was getting lower in the sky so we all felt a little panicked at the thought of wasting our last night on the Pacific Ocean driving around instead of sitting in a chair on the beach!
After a couple of wrong turns we found it. A nice track right onto the beach. We booked it south for the archway we'd seen from above. Made it.
We spent a while exploring the nearby caves and tide pools.
Lots of pics!
You don't want to be in here as the tide comes in!
All in all, not a bad spot to camp. So happy to have found this spot.
Sure, you can look at pics of someone else's trip and decide you want to go to the same spot. I do that all the time. I'd recommend to make sure you leave the beaten path at least once because when you find a place all on your own it means so much more. This was that spot on this trip.
