For those of you unfamiliar with the "other coast" of Baja California, Sea of Cortez side, I just looked at my thermometer. The highest in the last
year on my shaded patio was 116 det F. The lowest 41 deg F, and there were more days in the 40's than in the 110's. Right now 705p it's 94.7 deg F
on the patio and 34 deg F in my Igloo Ultra cooler.
and the humidity...???

we had a truck racer die just north of San Felipe in the 500, some years ago from the heat and the humidity in June....
Baja Arriba!!

My wife, who hates humidity even more than high temperatures says "so far ain't bad". A little today but last serveral days were very dry. Part of
July - August - 1st half Sept. Yeah much humidity.
You could always...

When the humidity is just right you can keep your cigars outside of the humidor!

The one thing to really remember here in the summer is to NOT spend the day out in the sun digging ditches. If you must dig them, do it after
sundown.
The ice in the Igloo is now 33 deg F. 88 deg F on the patio - canb't feel any humidity and about 4-5 mph breeze. How can it be any better that
that?
I'll be right over

Oh me! Oh my !
Comeon you Baja Nomads a little heat is good for you.
Virginia and I lived 18 years in Loreto, never with AC.
We lived in Hectors Rental for a year and then move on to the Beach at Rancho Sonrisa. We had 67 windows{open most of the time} with 6 Chinese
Fans{purchased in La Paz for $13 Each}
We kept accurate records for a Number of years and the very Low was 48 the High at 105 on the Day of the last "Whip Storm" that hit Loreto.
We had tohave a Heater in the Winter as the Wind off of the Water dropped the Temp. to feeling like 32 at times.
However when you moved back away from the Beach several Hundred Yards the Temp would go to 120.
Moral of this Story:If you are unable to be on the Beach.Go back a few Hundred Yards and bulid a 2 story Palapa.You will be up High enough to catch
the Wind.
I have one last Lot in Loreto that would be ideal for that type of Structure.

You sound like my husband, he's always got some ditch to dig down in Cabo. It may be putting up a fence, digging a hole for the tina, throwing dirt
up where it got washed down in the rain, or whatever! You're right though, in the summer it's gotta be done before 9am or after 6pm! H.

...and while you're waiting for the sun to go down, sip a few ice cold cervezas, ok?

Gotta tell ya Steve, it's really pretty nice here right now.
Mexitron - 6-15-2004 at 06:20 PM
Any work for gringos there Lou?....sounds appealling!
bajalou - 6-15-2004 at 06:38 PM
There is a construction boom going on here like you wouldn't beleive. Importing workers from Sonora as can't find nearly enough for all that's going
on. Putting in a golf course and don't know what all else. Many of the campos around here are being sub-divided and some pretty big homes are being
built. A couple of golf course/beach front lots sold here a short whild back for about $445,000 each and the cheapest one in that area is $102,000
(that's US Dollars) lot only.
Course you probably don't want to mix cement and plaster. But some gringo's have come down and set up companies that oversee the local contracters as
some are much better than others but almost all need some oversite. People soon learn that they must be here while the construction is going on or
hire a overseer to make sure it's all done right.
Other than that, working in the ice house pays more than pumping gas my friends tell me.
And I leave my doors open all the time unless I go to the Old Country. Feel very safe and secure here.
And 10 minutes from Valle Chico and the canyons of the Sierra San Pedro Matir.
Come on down.
