On the Bay of Cortez, we found our secret lagoon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were looking for a spot to pull in for the night, when we saw a couple of faint tracks in the sand leading off into the bush near a small rock cairn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As usual, we turned in&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly, the tracks dumped us in the front yard of a tiny cinder block house. In front of the house, a woman was hanging up her wash as a little boy played peekaboo through the slat fence. We hopped out, said hello and pantomined falling asleep while pointing toward the beach. She noded that it was ok to sleep futher down the track&#8230;and that is where we found our Secret Lagoon with our own little tiki bar right out of Robinson Crusoe! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We ended up spending 5 days walking the beach, looking for hermit crabs and collecting sea shells. Beach life isn&#8217;t too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1698\" height=\"2000\" data-attachment-id=\"2899\"
