We ventured off road to look for Cabo Pulmo.  It is a national park and reserve.  We had no idea the roads would be so terrible!  Miles of bad roads and pot holes and rocks!  They seemed to be trying to improve the roads but it looked like it could take years!  A four wheel drive, truck or jeep would be a better option than a crappy rental car!  Next time!  My husband enjoyed the off road driving…… Me not so much!  I’m always worried about getting stranded since it’s such a remote area.  It had also rained recently and there where a lot of flooded spots on the roads.  We braved it through most of them but just close to the entrance to the park……. We’re two fully flooded spots.  I didn’t want to risk getting stuck in mud and it was getting late…. So we opted for a beautiful deserted beach to hang out at.  Next tome we will get a better vehicle and stay a night or two!  We took a side road down to the beach and saw a lot of jack rabbits with huge ears!  The better to hear you with!  Suddenly the clouds over the mountain got dark and threatening!  Then came thunder echoing off the mountain……. Neat and scary at the same time.  What a beautiful remote place!  I had fun collecting a bunch of cool shells too!  We headed out because we didn’t want to get caught in pouring rain trying to maneuver out on the crappy roads.  Luckily we made it to the main road in time for the pouring rain!  It was crazy driving back in pouring rain but it did wash all the splattered mud off the car!  It was quite an adventure!
