Opinion desired on Eddies Hideaway, El Cardonal

wecangarden - 1-20-2011 at 10:05 AM

My wife and I are planning to stay at Eddies Hideaway in El Cardonal for a couple of weeks. Does anyone have information on that location? This is our first trip down driving and we have a month to do it. We are travelling in a VW Eurovan camper and intend to "camp out" along the way. Our stops down are as follows: Puerto San Isidro, El Rosario, Guerro Negro (2 days), San Ignacio (2 days), Mulege (2 days, saturday pig roast, sunday super bowl), Mag...Bay (2 days) then to El Cardonal for two weeks. Any tips or special features are appreciated. c ya. gregory

You can camp anywhere in the region for free and there are also paid campgrounds. Arroyos are beautiful now. Perhaps you would enjoy being on your own instead. Have fun

Pescador - 1-20-2011 at 04:48 PM

Do a search function here on "Eddies Hideaway", or "El Cardonal" and you may find more information than you even believed possible.

Bajahowodd - 1-20-2011 at 05:02 PM

That's right. However, it appears that you are planning to stay at El Cardonal's Hideaway, which happens to be run by Eddie.

Geez. #1 hit on Google for Eddies Hideaway is a place in Israel!:lol:

That is how WillyAirstream got hooked up with Eddie and he has sent them a U2U. Also, if you want an earful, ask Jimmy Smith's Daughter from Los Barilles.

Eddie is a strange character. I've never met him, but I have observed his writings on the net.
He said he was a lawyer who lives in La Paz.

Above is a nice alternative in La Ribera.

We last stayed at Eddie's in late November 2010. The washrooms and showers are clean, but Eddie seems to have been dealing with some stuff. His family was not around.

Eddie was heading back to La Paz for a few day's work and just left the keys with us for us to lock up while he was gone.

It was a little different than our experience staying there previously, but there were no problems and we did enjoy the area.

Few more McMansions along the beach in El Cardonal as well...

Did you bury fast eddie in the desert? :lol:

tiotomasbcs - 1-13-2012 at 12:32 PM

Very nice area but windy and some ghosts in the closet "Stuff". Read up on Cabo Pulmo south to Vinorama. North Beach campground in Los Barriles has services as well as La Trinidad Ranch in nearby La Ribera (very nice!). Reservations are not needed. And remember this is windy time of year?sailboard Heaven! Tio

Sólo para su información. Eddie llegó a este foro hace uno y media años y hizo una gran escandalo amenazandó otras con demandas y les dijo que a algunos él va a meter en la carcel.

Los mayoria aqui piensan que él es una sinvergüenza y mamaverruga.

Paz, amor y tacos de pescado.

Since you have a thing about correcting others' Spanish here, Mengano, I'm sure you'll appreciate the help where needed, right?

That should be:
Sólo para su información. Eddie llegó a este foro hace un año y medio, haciendo un gran escándalo, amenazando a algunas personas con demandas y diciéndoles que metería a algunos de ellos en la cárcel.

La mayoría aquí piensan que ("él" is understood, not needed) es un sinvergüenza y ...

A simple "thanks" will do, Mengano.

No thanks are required. You have not corrected anything. You have rewritten it in a different tense, that's all.

I wrote: "hizo una gran escandalo" [made a big deal]
While you (really Zully, right?) wrote: "haciendo un gran escándalo" [making a big deal]

All you did is change to a gerund phrase. You corrected no error. You just rewrote it another way.

I wrote: "amenazandó otras con demandas" [threatened others with lawsuits]
While you wrote: "amenazando a algunas personas con demandas" [threatening some other people with lawsuits]

Again you did not correct it, you merely rewrote it with a gerund phrase.

I wrote: "les dijo que a algunos él va a meter en la carcel." [said to them that he will put some in jail.]
While you wrote:"diciéndoles que metería a algunos de ellos en la cárcel" [saying to them that he would put some of them in jail]

So all you did, was change "made" to "making", "threatened" to "threatening" and "said" to "saying". That was not a corrrection, it was a change in tenses. And yes, I know él is understood. But it is not incorrect to also write it.

"Eat?" and "Did you eat?" are both understood in English, and both mean the same thing, but the longer version is not incorrect.

And if your Spanish is so plucking good Stevie, why don't you make use of your talents and translate some of the Spanish language news for the folks here, instead of looking for a fight?

By the way, I am a published author and know a few things about good composition. Gerund phrases -- i.e. words ending in "ing" -- are considered weak and generally avoided. Direct and simple statements are the best, for example:

"To run and jump is good," is grammatically preferable to "Running and jumping are good." That's something you just won't learn after 20 years in the motor pool.

So your "corrections" are not even for the better. They are worse.

bill erhardt - 1-14-2012 at 11:01 AM

Sorry to interrupt the cat fight that I'm sure has everybody enthralled, but back to the subject of the OP......

I'm not familiar with current management, back in the day when the Hideaway was managed by Beatriz and her daughters it was one of my favorite places on Baja, and I spent a couple of months a year there. It truly had a touch of "Baja Magic".

As to Eddie Beaulne, he is a Baja character. As with Justice Stewart on pornography - 'it's hard to describe, but I know it when I see it' - it's hard to capture Eddie in 25 words or less, but if you meet Eddie it's not likely that you will forget him. One thing that's almost certain is that when Eddie passed through estados unidos on the way from Canada to Mexico, he didn't stop along the way and enroll in any Dale Carnegie courses.

Here from 8 - 10 years ago is sunrise reflected in the window of my room at the Hideaway:

ec6.jpg - 48kB

bill erhardt - 1-14-2012 at 11:07 AM

Beatriz and daughters Vero and Luli at work on the big striped marlin. I don't as a general rule kill marlin, but marlin seem to be the favorite food in El Cardonal and I did bring some back to the Hideaway.

An old lady who spent most of her waking hours in a rocking chair on her front porch reportedly said one day as she saw me pull into town, "God has sent Bill back to El Cardonal to catch a marlin so I can have the belly meat".

What was I to do? I was apparently on a mission for God.

bill erhardt - 1-14-2012 at 11:08 AM

On the beach in front of the hotel with part of the catch one day.

A new skylight in my room the morning after hurricane Marty blew through in 2003. Half the roof of the Hideaway blew away about 3:00 a.m.

Before we all bury these two folks out of hand, I've stayed at that place several times, think it's lovely and unique, and would be overjoyed if this couple manages to bring it back to life, Eddie or no Eddie. And regarding the man himself, he's the only one I've dealt with there and in that context it's gone fine. I get the feeling he's getting a bit crotchety with years, but that could be said for a number of us here.

J&R, I wish you the best of luck and hope you can keep the place open for a while; is there a web site with more info?

The website for El Cardonal's Hide-A-Way can be found at: www.elcardonal.net


Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement!

So your command of Spanish is soooooooooo bad that you'll argue that all I did was "rewrite" your stuff, as in simply say it in another, equally-correct-but-worse, manner? Fly that one by any real Spanish speakers you might know--but probably don't.

You have made my day--...no, make that week--with this latest revelation about yourself. I will definitely be watching your further use of Spanish, I love the laughs. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha....:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:


As for your reference that my Mexican wife had anything to do with my postings here, can't blame you for thinking that, most people who don't personally know me would probably come to the same erroneous conclusion. But, being the magnificent Internet sleuth that I know you to be, there's enough on this site alone to discard that silly notion.

Again, I will refer to that old saying I'm so fond of bringing up on such occasions: "Never argue with an idiot..."

Thanks for the info, Wiley. Let me fill in the blanks for you. Bajatripper was raised mainly in the Seattle, Washington area where his step-father, William C Massey, was a professor of anthropology and a well-known scholar on Baja California. Professor Massey spent much time in Baja on research grants and has published much on Baja. Bajatripper's mother has also written on Baja. He did attend school on occasion in La Paz. But, by no stretch of the imagination was he raised there.

However, none of the foregoing demonstrates he has any great knowledge of Spanish. I have invited him to translate some Spanish articles for the folks here, and so far he has not. Out here in the real world, Wiley, you have to either put up or shut up.

Kudos to you, Bill, and thanks. Not only for the great photos but also for the insight into the 'Baja Magic' the Hideaway must have been...and hopefully will remain. I highly regret our paths could never have crossed there, as I have yet to discover the place for myself. I will do just that later this year.

Great marlin eating photos, too. Looks like it went to a very honorable and 'hungry' cause. One in a blue moon is allowable with the fish gods, I'm sure. They know, as I do, you care for the resource.

Plus...you can good 'hoo :yes:




Tight lines, amigo.

Ha, ha, ha, you vewy funny man, Mengano. Hint, Sherlock, Wiley is a personal friend of mine, so he doesn't need you to "fill in the blanks." He knows my background, but you, in your infinite arrogance, think you know better. You've been wallowing in your world of pig-crap so long that you wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you up side the head.

I do translations for others when my own projects permit--indeed, you may already have read some of my work in that area. What I can say is that I would never do any translating at your suggestion. I have no need to prove anything to you.

In the meantime, keep charging ahead in your ignorance, I'm learning more about you. This time, I'm able to verify your modus operandi since I know the subject of your rant pretty well: me. Words of advice: give it up, bud, you aren't nearly as good as you think you are.

Oh.

For what it's worth I counted 10 (maybe 12, depending on one's personal style) errors in your blurb, and would go far as to dispute your allegation that he changed anything to "a gerund phrase." All that ends in "ing" does not a gerund make, as I reckon you know.


And even with some errors it's more legible than the written English of a few here... so don't let us grammar grinches put you off... :-)


Thanks for your opinion, Lencho. For the record, I don't usually make the point I did with Mengano's work. I took exception for how he used it (I tire real quick of people who use their limited foreign language skills to cuss people/things out--low marks in character) and because, well,...it's Mengano and that guy tends to hold all to standards that he doesn't meet himself; he needs leveling once in a while (although he shows every sign of being a very intellingent, well-informed person in English--hat's off to him for that).

The new couple taking care of El Cardonal's hide-a-way are doing a great job. They have the restaurant open and also make excellent bakery items. I believe that Eddie does show up on occasion, but spends most of his time in La Paz.

Now you are batting your baby blue eyes and acting like you are the victim. It was you who came here just to taunt me. Don't lose sight of that. If things did not work out as you expected, you only have yourself to blame.

Some of us know what the real issue is. We have not forgotten. You were touting Seguro Popular as your free medical care in Mexico. You were asked, point blank, how you, as an American retired from the military with Tri-Care insurance and a pension, could be using up scarce free medical resources designed as a safety net for poor Mexicans.

You were asked twice, as I recall. You never responded. If you want to get back on the high moral ground, you should explain yourself. I am not going to hold my breath waiting for your answer.

Ah yes, don't win the dispute, attack the messenger, your modus operandi. Now you're trying to obfuscate the point (your Spanish sucks) with some unrelated thread? But facts are facts and my position on your Spanish abilities was backed by Lencho. But you can't even admit that you committed a single error in your "Spanish." Yet, it is there and easily verifiable by anyone with better Spanish than yours--and, believe me, there are a lot of us (or have you erased that post already, I don't care enough to scroll up and check).

On the personal account, you are right, I don't like you very much--at least, I don't like your many Nomad personas. But I'm not alone, as you no doubt know. You have one of those manners of stating your opinion as if it were fact, indeed, infallible. When someone points out that it isn't always correct (as I did in this thread with regards to your Spanish abilities), you can be counted on to go on the offensive (as you did here) instead of taking the time to do a little research to see if, perhaps, you were wrong. You'd be amazed at how refreshing life can be if you aren't burdened with the silly notion that you can never be wrong. And a side bonus to such admissions of imperfections is that people will like you more.

I can use myself as an example (not about being liked, I know better. About being wrong and how to go about admitting it). For years, I'd listened to a family member tell me how underpaid school teachers in her state are. I mentioned it on a thread on the board and someone challenged that opinion, mentioning some specific dollar amounts a member in his family--who also works as a teacher in the same state--makes and said he didn't think that was small change. I did some research--asking my relative specifics--and had to agree with the person who challenged me that teachers in that particular state are, indeed, well paid. In the process, I also learned something.

Had my name been Mengano (or Jenny what's-her-name, or any of your other banned personas), my reaction would have been to immediately jump all over that Nomad who questioned my assertion. But when you handle it that way, those who know the topic of the dispute see your word for what it is; just a strongly-stated opinion that is right sometimes, and wrong other times. But what most comes across is your unwillingness to admit you were wrong. And that, in turn, brings into question your every statement since I know that if you are wrong, you will never admit it. A word like that isn't worth much, in my unqualified opinion. To take it a notch further, if a person's word is no good, what good are they?

That said, I have also stated here and in other threads that there are things about you that I admire. See, that's what makes people like me difficult. We let ourselves be guided by the facts and can both admire qualities about someone but still hold them accountable when they step out of line.

If you can find examples of where I have done or said something that needs attention called to it, please don't hesitate to point it out. I might even surprise you and say, yes, you're right and I was wrong. It has been known to happen--more times than I'd care to admit.

As for Seguro Popular, it's a Mexican-government-sponsored medical coverage program . If you qualify for it and have use of it, by all means, sign up. If, on the other hand, you don't have use for it, for whatever reasons, don't sign up. What's the dispute? I must have missed it. (See EnsenadaDr's posts for more details if you have any questions. She seems well informed.)

Till our next entanglement, looking forward to it.

PS
Things worked out splendidly. You reacted just as I knew you would, and I thank you for that. This one has pretty much run its course--but you be sure to get in some meaningless "last word," you're so predictable.

My f#ck ups have always been straight-forward, NEVER duplicitous!

Hey, Mengano, I may have to reconsider my "this-is-all-I-have-to-say-to-you-on-this-thread" stand. I just noticed we're both within striking distance of making it to the next level of 1,000 posts. Perhaps we should consider giving it some more juice? Your "debate style" is geared for running up the numbers, as our different "join dates" attest to.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Soulpatch (49 to go!).

Thank you Jwylie. Yes we were doing a great job, but sadly, Notorious Eddy destroyed our efforts at rebuilding the Hideaway, and we are no longer involved.

Sorry it did not work out for you. There are some good tidbits of information on BajaNomads, if one can sort through and discard all the misinformation. Had you searched on Eddy here before getting involved with him, it would have probably saved you a lot of trouble.

JuanitaYRaul, sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you.

I had checked the place off of my list of places to try after willyairstream's experience but I had planned on trying it out after all the good things I had read on the Baja Pony Express about what you had been doing there.

It might be a good idea to post on the BPE and let people know that you are no longer affiliated with the place, it might keep someone from a disappointing trip up there.......dt

I'm with DT on this one...
was planning a visit in June, but no more!

tiotomasbcs - 1-30-2012 at 11:52 AM

What happened? Sounds like a good story in the making. Many of us have viewed his prior behavior if only from afar. It is a beautiful area and small pueblito. Not a bad place to beach camp or make a day trip to see! Hope you guys didn't get burned too bad other than just putting in time and energy. Ni modo. Tio

I hope they have someone to cook, they are still advertising all sorts of wonderful things on the BPE, maybe I'll run up there next week and report back.....dt

Eddy is fully in charge of The Hideaway once again and is the one advertising on the BPE.

Eddie and I last month at El Cardonal ( if the picture uploads) We had a perfectly wonderful stay. Jill is a great hostess and the chef is talented. They run the restaurant. Eddie is around on weekends but has plans to subdivide and sell homesites to a gated community

TRINADAD rv SUCKS !!
