El Rosario

El Rosario was a short 30km ride from our back yard camping spot.  We had resolved before hand to stay in El Rosario despite its short distance fom our starting place.  We got there at around 11am and went for (second) breakfast. We met an Albertan woman along the way, Melanie, and followed her lead in finding an in-town wild camp.  We ended up staying in a commercial building still under constuction ( likely to become a pub based on the signage we could see in the building). The building ended up being a godsend as it rained in the evening to no small degree. A few big dune buggies rolled into town to the restaurant and were quite entrancing as they were quite decked out for their obvious purpose.  These beast were meant for the all terrain approach to the desert.

The evening started with the three of us (Bryan and Maggie elected to continue on on their own) but we quickly gained 2 more as two fellows Justin and Paul joined us as well - two Americans! The night had quite a lot of rain, surprisingly, but none followed during the next day.
