Oh, and this GlaStar with sand in its tire grooves? That's Steve Tillinghast's plane enhancing the already beautiful scenery of Bahia San Luis Gonzaga on the Sea of Cortez in Mexico.

Steve writes: "It is 75nm below San Felipe, a convenient airport to clear customs, and the strip is adjacent to a beautiful bay perfect for snorkeling & fishing. One must be careful to check the tides because much of the strip is below the low tide line during certain times of the year! Pull your plane up to a high spot if you're spending the night. Alfonsina runs a basic small hotel and restaurant right there. Many Americans have built vacation homes all down the beach-a big change from when I first visited in 1974-still beautiful though. A new strip has been built less than a mile away which gives you options for unfavorable wind direction and there's a PEMEX station if you run auto fuel. Very nice spot fall through spring. Hot in the summer!"

The other photo is an awesome swimming hole between Cabo and La Paz with no other people around.
