Waiting for Wind
New campers are arriving as the threat of hurricanes
diminishes as we head towards the end of October. There have been some subtle changes to the weather that
signal the end of the tropical summer and the arrival of the
north winds that lure us to Baja for the winter.
Fortunately the humidity and temperatures have both dropped
the last 2 weeks, which makes it much more comfortable than
September. We’ve
even had some north winds (4 days this month so far) which
got the kiters and windsurfers with big gear out on the
water.

One positive result of the hurricanes this season is that
the arroyos are clear and smooth, which makes it easy to
explore the canyons and waterfalls in the surrounding hills.
The water has brought the desert to life with green
cactus and flowers enhancing the arid landscape.
The latest hot afternoon escape is to take off your
shoes and hike up the sandy streams that fill most of the
upper arroyos south of La Ventana.
Other no-wind alternatives have been snorkeling and
fishing, which has been a little slow so far.

If you are heading down, people arriving recently say the road is good.
Other than a few spots under repair from the storms in southern Baja, it
should be clear driving. There are
still some spots on the front row available, and the center portion of the
campground is wide open. The
campground has been cleaned and repaired, so things are back to normal.
Pray for wind, Gary & Nancy
