San Felipe II

Our second day in SF, we drove to Puertocitos, a small village several miles south.  En route, we stopped at Rancho Percebu, a beach resort/campground that has a restaurant/bar which was highly recommended by a friend in LHC.  The road into Percebu was 1.5 miles of washboard, max speed 15 MPH.  The place was deserted, nobody in the campground, restaurant closed, whoopee, the hell with it, drove back down the washboard road to the highway. 

We planned to have lunch at either Percebu or Puertocitos, so we continued on to the village.  It was as advertised, a small village.  Very small: one garage/hardware store, one restaurant, a police station, a few ramshackle homes near the highway, a few slightly less ramshackle homes along the beach.  And, guess what - the restaurant was closed.  We stopped at the police station and asked if there was another restaurant nearby: nope, game over, return to campground and raid the fridge.

On day 3, the guys golfed, the gals lunched in SF.  The golf course is part of a large upscale development with many nice homes and condos.  The course itself is spread out more than most.  Power carts were included in the $20 fee we paid for 9 holes, as was a small bucket of balls for the driving range. 

We had campfires every night, along with s’mores, stories, jokes and assorted lies.  We’ve also played Mexican Train, Phase 10 and Polish Golf.  We bought our own party and a fine party it was.  San Felipe has a great beach but is otherwise unremarkable; overall, hardly worth visiting.  Next year, we’ll return to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) on the other side of the Gulf of California, which has a lot more to offer. 

Now, we're back in the US, staying at Sunbeam Lake RV Park in El Centro, CA.  It's a great campground with many amenities, including a pool, spa and Pickleball.  It took us 1.5 hours of waiting in line to get across the border, a major pain in the ass.  We head back to LHC today.
