ch-ch-ch-changes.......
At least we will be able to take the train to hang out and surf at The Quatro Casas Four Seasons and the Le Meriden Shipwrecks Resort and Spa!
I suggest everyone head south as much as possible as soon as possible.

border-sheesh! what a nightmare!(look for a huge increase in roadside shrines).....

Those guys would widen the road
and then all those people buying into the gringo enclaves will feel safe to drive and explore Baja.
Won't that be fun!
It's bound to happen one day but, so far the ma?ana effect is still very much in operation here, as it always has been.
Viva Mexico!!!

Having seen Lazaro Card##as' port and surfing mentioned in this post, I expected someone to remember the disastrous effect of the breakwater at Lazaro
in the early 80's, on the surf at Petacalco, which before had 12' waves on a normal day.

"At Punta Colonet, Union Pacific Corp. is considering a joint venture with Hutchison to lay down tracks to Yuma, Ariz., where cargo could be hauled to
the Inland Empire without ever passing through the L.A. or Long Beach ports.
(Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. operate Southern California rail lines to the Mexican border where they pick up U.S. bound
cargo.) "

Back when the English tried to grow wheat in San Quintin, they put down 20 miles of railroad tracks as the first section of a line that would haul the
flour north. The route layed out turned east to Valle Trinidad.
The new 'Puerto Colonet' to Yuma RR would do the same and continue through the San Matias Pass following Hwy. 3 then heading north along Hwy. 5. The
terrain gives few choices for railroad routes in Baja.
