I sent out an email to people I knew where coming on this trip, in the event the major port has implications on our camping spot, I don't forsee any, but it is always good to have a backup plan.

email below:

Hi all,

I hope everyone on this email list can make it down! First as you know we will be heading to the point to camp (Punta Colonet)... Turn off at about KM 129ish (after Ensenada) on the right "EJ Morales 13" sign. (as you will see the EJ V. turnoff is when heading down is south at the end of town, going up a hill on the right)



The point looks like this you can't miss it, we will try to put signs leading you there once you get to the coast, just head towards it... Scroll up to my first post on this message for directions to the point.



***Alternate spot info:***

There should be no problemos with this camp spot. However, as some of you may know there is a large seaport that may or may not be built. There is ABSOLUTELY no official word from the Mexican Government about this going through, and even then could take years before construction begins. Some of the land near the point where we camp has been sold, only in the hopes of the seaport going through to make lots of money on resale, so it is just sitting there unused as before. I forsee no problems camping there, but just in case I wanted to offer a back up plan.

I have access to a beach house, just up the road back north at about KM 126ish. We have launched here, and had great success fishing. It is actually a northern entrance towards fishing towards the point, this place is a great second option, and not far from the other. The house is owned by my brother in law, and located at the beach called San Antonio del Mar, again only a couple miles north of the point.

NOTE: This is in the scenario we can't camp at the point as planned!!! Again, I foresee NO problems, but it is always good to have a backup plan, esp in Baja. To get to the house in San Antonio Del Mar, should you not be able to camp at the point, (we will put up a sign, if this is the case) you need to follow these instructions.

1. Head back NORTH on HWY 1 back through the small town of Colonet from "EJ V Morales 13" turnoff. (Turn left from that dirt road onto the HWY)

2. Once you reach the north end of Colonet (small town about 3-4 km long) at about KM 127ish, you will cross over a small bridge, over a dried riverbed, take the dirt road on your left. (Basically you are retracing your steps)

3. You will know this is the correct dirt road because there is a Church at the top of the entrance to it.

4. Follow this dirt road in about 5-10 miles straight in... It will splinter, but stay on the main center road. You will come to some small beach houses.

5. As you go straight in, the road witll end directly at the beach. Look for the one with the Killer whale painted on it to the right. It is right next to a lagoon. You can't miss it, if you follow this road in.



Eddie R, has a spot close from the beach house with great beach access for kayaks, see attached pictures. If you are not caravaning with us, we will check the house periodically, and leave detailed instructions to get to this alternate spot. You do NOT need 4x4 to get to any of these places.

Here are some pics of the Alternate spot... (near the house above)







If you are NOT caravanning with us Thursday AM, please respond to this email with the date & time you are leaving so we can have an idea of when to expect people to look out for you, in the slim event we cannot camp at our first choice. Again, this is a slim chance, but we would like to plan for every scenario, since there are a lot of new people to Colonet, and make sure we all hook up for a great time!

You may want to print this and bring along with you.

If you have any questions, feel free to email sdholymackerel@gmail.com
