Bahia Concepcion



There were five geocaches in Conception Bay. We found four of them. One was supposed to be near a cave that has ancient paintings. The clue was "it's under a group of three rocks."

We found caves (no paintings), and, since this is the Baja, made almost exclusively of rocks, we found rocks. But no cache.



We also found lots of development, often small palapa-like bungalows being built as winter homes by North Americans. And we found trash. On one of the bee-lines Marv likes to take toward caches, we were bushwacking through a large area of cactus, mesquite, dry arroyos, and palo verde trees. Suddenly we were confronted with acres of trash, mostly plastic, one indication of the negative impact we humans have had on the earth here.
