May 4 - 5 Golfo Run
EL GOLFO RUN! THE DATE IS SET for the Cinco de Mayo weekend, May 4-5-6, with a ‘Survivor’s Party’ at La Casa del Capitan around 5PM on Sunday the 6th. You DO need to make a reservation at rockypointtimes@yahoo.com They DO NOT accept $$, you pay for your room upon arrival, but the organizers assign the rooms. Everyone is welcome to join if you have a 4×4 and know how to drive it!
For past tales and adventures of the El Golf Run, check out this excerpt from Tom O’Hare of the Rocky Point Times “…El Golfo or Bust… Last month we had our 31st semi- annual El Golfo Run. Besides our regulars who always participate, we had 14 new people that went for their first time. This trip we had the usual buggies, rails and jeeps, the unusual vehicles were two four wheelers, a golf cart, Razr and Polaris. Everyone said had a good time and will join us again. As has been the tradition, our trip was finished off with a ‘Survivors Party’ which was held at La Casa del Capitan, with a good margarita conversation and dinner. For those of you who are not familiar with our “El Golfo Run”, we do it twice a year – May and October. It is about an 85 mile trip to a small fishing town named “El Golfo de Santa Clara”. We try to stay off road as much as possible, driving thru the desert and along the seashore…”
