12/11 No shortage of hills today. The range that runs along the coast is called Sierra De La Giganta and I was in and out of them all day. The scenery along the Bahia Concepcion was phenomenal. I’ve never seen so many white sand beaches before. It was very tempting to stop and dive in for a swim.
I think I finally found a seat position that agrees with my butt. It’s been a week since I changed the height and angle and so far the soreness that I’d feel during the day and at night is gone.
At the 50 mile mark I bought a gallon of water from a store and started looking for a good place to camp for the night. It took 9 miles but I found a very rough gravel road that winds down into a valley. I rode down a few hundred feet until I could find a good place to get my bike through. It’s not a bad spot–pretty flat and well hidden from the main road and the gravel road. Not sure what’s further down from where I am but a truck drove up to the main highway not long after I got here but they didn’t spot me. The area wasn’t fenced in so I should be good. Hopefully the Chupacabra doesn’t pay me a visit. 
I’m so excited to be camping in the wild after so long that I didn’t even put the fly over my tent. Now I just hope it doesn’t get soaked from dew in the morning.

Any Chupacabra sightings through the night?
I love the photos, what equipment are you using these days? Are you doing anything special when taking these photos or using auto exposure?
Na, I made it through without being eaten by anything. Back when I had my Canon 40d I’d get all crazy with the manual settings but I had to part with it (too heavy/wasn’t using enough). I’m down to a Pentax Optio W30 P&S camera these days and it only has auto settings. I end up post-processing about 80% of the pictures because the lighting usually sucks during the day and most shots end up a little crooked.
