Subject:El Faro Beach, Encinada & La Paz, Mexico

There is a good camping spot at El Faro Beach in Encinada ($6 a night) and
There is a local hotel just about 8 blocks inland away from town on one of
the main streets (16 de Septembre street I think or maybe 5 de Mayo street)
with showers and a large double bed for only about $4 a night. They want
about $60 to $80 in town. Just a few blocks past the gas station and a right
turn on one of  streets (the 3rd past the gas station I think). I wish I
could remember specific directions. Just ask around. Nothing like a good
shower and a king sized bed after a long trip.

If you are going to go that far go to Cabo San Lucas but stay in a
campground at San Jose Del Cabo a few miles East where the town is quaint
and really almost untouched by Cabo nonsense. The campground is just past
"Trader Dick's" store and you can camp right on the beach. The town is just
a few miles from there and worth the trip in itself. They even have
vegetarian places to eat and a great Pizza place (Pizza fiesta) and try the
Iguana Bar & Grille right in the center of town. It would be a shame to go
all the way to La Paz and not visit  Cabo San Lucas (ruined by Americans)
and stay at San Jose Del Cabo a truely untouched town.

Happy trails.
