Laguna Ojo De Liebre

After leaving CoCo's corner I just kept it pointed south and ended up just south of Guerrero Negro on the pacific side.  Beautiful area called Laguna Ojo De Liebre.  This is the bay where the Gray Whales come in to calf each year.  It is believed they come here due to the high salt content in the water which helps float their young to the surface upon arrival.  You end up having to drive about 15 miles off road through a salt flat to get to it.  Guard checks you in and allows you to drive through in order to reach the lagoon.  Camping is really nice ($5 a night) with a palapa.  Met an american guy who had been camped in the same spot for 6 weeks.  I had only planned a night but it was so nice ended up staying three nights here.  Went out on a whale tour the second day.  A great experience to be able to literally pet a whale and be this close.  Saw probably at least 80-100 whales in a two hour period.  Guide stated that most of the whales had already left the lagoon for northern waters.  We did have a couple of really good bumps and at one point the boat was literally sitting on the mothers back.  You're quite a ways from shore in a regular skiff.  Makes you ponder the possibilities!

Lots of bird life in the area as well
