10 miles of dirt pays off
With the weekend comes the time to get out of town and back into the places we came to Baja for. Enter El Conejo, a nothing place (barely even on the map) located 10 miles off the main highway and down a washboard and sandy road. So when Kerri said to go there, I gave her a bit of a side-glance and then blindly took the unmarked dirt road leading towards the ocean, 10 miles away!
Sometimes you just have to blindly follow. If left up to me I plan things out too much and lose out on the excitement of being surprised by something. Man did that advice pay off on this day with yet another afternoon and evening of blissful ocean-front peace and quiet. Yet again the rear doors faced the water and did not get closed the entire night. Kerri loves the sounds of the waves so much that I am sacrificing our own security of locked doors to keep that smile alive. What love with make you do…
We played on the beach, ate a fine van-cooked meal, and watched the longest sunset I have ever witnessed that night. In the end we only got to spend a single night out there, but it was worth the 20 miles – round trip – of dirt road.
