Tres Virgines & Borrego Sheep Cabanas

Juan's uncle's neice's husband...(you know how that goes) is a member of that ejido and they also have some interesting projects for rustic cabins at a hot spring near there...oh yeah

Sounds a little expensive?? Bring your own blankets?? Can't you just camp out there in the boondocks? I know, support the local economy but it sounds a little Capitalistic by the ejido. Hunting in the Biosphere?? Sounds like they are just sorting things out. Baja Cactus is only $400 p. Wait and see. Tio

My compadre, Pier, and I have stayed and hunted there. A nice place for all interested in nature. Lots of quail, doves, etc. We won't talk venison around some folks...

pics Pompano, hunt for some

Shari - I tried calling Alfredo's cell phone and it is not working. Below is his email (I wrote asking about the hot water). All cabins have 2 rooms but they are separate and one rents one at a time ... if that makes sense...

All they needed in the lodge was a roaring fire since it was so cold yesterday. It is incredibly beautiful. I was impressed.

Thanks Blanca. I stopped in there also; in July. I just decided to meander in and introduced myself. The three workers (Juan, Jesus and Ramon) invited me to breakfast. Juan was the cook. And in July they did have a refrigerator. I believe it ran off solar. The car battery on top of the fridge was to charge their radios.

Juan, Ramon & Jesus speak almost no English but we communicated fine. They were most gracious and jovial during my brief visit. They commute from Ejido Bonfil, a bit to the North and stay four nights during work week.

I did manage to learn that they expect to be fully open in Spring of 2011. Also that the road goes up to an electrical generating station. And since this is a volcanic area, if I understood their Spanish correctly, there is a well drilled for geothermal energy production. Yes, I took notes on all this. As you get older, it's the only way to remember things. Here's a few more images.

hmmm the pics Bryan put up are perfect on our screen. For the record, on another post, I finally figured out how to post a single photo. I am feeling so accomplished since it only took me months

Tio Capitalism isn't a dirty word or concept to me. More ejidos should find away to generate income and provide access to their land to tourists with an interest to do so. Comparing Baja Cactus to this property isn't really apples to apples is it? Ken

Maybe Santa Claus will drop a 17" monitor down my chimney, then I will have it made!

Bryan,

In another post the width issue was discussed. 800 width seemed to be the compromise, picture quality vs. max width for the most viewers.

Thanks for the information and pics, we will definitely stay there for a night or two. We look over at that valley and wonder every trip down!
