Whale Watching in Laguna Ojo de Liebre south of Guererro Negro

Driving to the camp from Hwy 1 is 25 k going thru the salt flats for Guerrero Negro which produces 10% of the worlds salt.
 nice quite RV camp and beautiful view of the laguna. We were able to see whale spouts from out camp and from the restaurant.
We did have a friendly mother and baby that stayed by the boat and played for a long time. Mr. Monkey really got to ride one again and he was excited. No hugs and kisses but lots of petting and blow hole showers. They are so soft and the baby loved to be petting on the head. Baby would come up head first and stay for awhile watching us until going down. The gray whales are the most amazing graceful creatures I have seen.

Laguna Ojo de Liebre-name of a U.S. Whaler, the Black Warrior which sank offshore in the 1850's. After depleting the population of gray whales by the late 19th century the hunters moved on and remarkable, the whales were able to recover.
