Puerto Peņasco, Sonora, Mexico

Twice a year, JJ's Cantina holds their One-Club Open golf tournament on beautiful Cholla Bay. The $10 entrance fee gets you a ball and enough tees for the 18-hole course.

The course is the somewhat muddy bottom of Cholla Bay (for the four hours of low tide).

The "holes" are hula-hoops.

Drinks are $1, to whatever group yells loud enough to convince the ATC driver to come your way.

 After a strenuous round of golf, my friends enjoy the morning air, while watching the tide come back in at JJ's.

This is a snapshot of the Granada Del Mar campground - where we usually camp. The white building in the center of the photo is the Granada Del Mar hotel. On the other side of the hotel is the famous (actually, notorious is probably a better word...) Pithaya Cantina.

A bit of the Sea of Cortez is just visible at the center left edge of the picture.

Looking to the west. The Granada Del Mar and the Pithaya are on the right. Old Port is on the other side of the small mountain off in the distance.

Looking to the east.
