3/21/04 - The Call of the SeaWe are happy to again have Ruth Carothers take over the editing for the day. Actually, Ruth (and Byron) spent this day with Bill and Norma Emerick at the beach. Most of the caravaners had to move from the beach front of Bahia Concepcion RV Park to the RV Park at Mulege. Because of their love of the beach, Ruth and Byron and Norma and Bill opted to “dry camp” on the beach between Bahia Concepcion and Mulege. (We all missed them so much we drove down to the beach the following day to be with them!) Here’s Ruth’s account of their day: This is Ruth again, with assistance from Norma for a short report. Byron and I left the Caravan on Saturday morning to spend some time on the beach with Bill and Norma Emerick. We drove 8 and 4 tenths miles and saw a great beach – “Playa El Coyote.” So we pulled in to check it out, and decided to stay. (It cost us a whole $5.00 each to stay!) Playa “El Coyote” is a beautiful beach. It has very few rocks and has fine sand. We had boats, canoes, and kayaks to watch as they skimmed over the blue sea. A light wind blew most of the time, so when it got hot, we dipped in the water and let the breeze keep us cool.

After the first shock of the cold water, we all got wet up to our heads except for Byron; he just made it to his waist. Later, the guys were checking out a sail boat in the harbor and Bill said something about it didn’t look like they had any clothing on, and later he wondered what the woman was doing on her hands and knees. We saw a few sting rays, which were real small and one came up and touched my toe! Sunday the 21st we decided we had better get back with the group, so here come Ken and Drena Prengel and Bill and Nellie King for a visit. They brought their dog, Tex, who enjoyed a little time in the water, too!

Then they said they were going to another beach, so we decided to stop up there and have lunch with them. Which we did, and the worse luck happened. The Ice Cream Truck was there and we all had to force ourselves to get some ice cream, and some really suffered and had chocolate topping and nuts on theirs. Then Dan and Carolee Day showed up with Paul and Kathleen Smith; they had come down to go to a café and it was closed, so they also missed the ice cream truck. It was like an old homecoming! About 10 o’clock everyone decided it was about time to go back to camp. When it was time to go, we really hated to leave our little piece of heaven! It was a great day and a half for Byron and me, and I hope it was enjoyed by everyone else!

| "I HAVE FOUND that the key to the ninety-nine is the one--particularly the one that is testing the patience and the good humor of the many. It is the love and the discipline of the one student, the one child, that communicates love for the others. It's how you treat the one that reveals how you regard the ninety-nine, because everyone is ultimately a one." (9/6) |
