Ever since I moved here to Zaragosa i have been mildly obsessed with the Flying Sportsmen, my wife and I walk the beach in front of it daily, past the
ruins of the old pier and gaze up at where the original property once stood.
I imagine Tabors fleet of fishing vessels moored up with the occasional seaplane stopping in for a visit, the cast of characters that once roamed
these grounds.
I imagine Loreto has changed alot since those glory days, long before the highway was paved down here and the international airport made it easier to
arrive, but if I close my eyes I can still see the way it once was.
We have been thinking more and more about possibly making Loreto a permanent home, Ive started casually browsing land/homes for sale and came across
the Casa Davison up for sale, which stands where the Flying Sportsman used to live.
Mr. Davison resurrected the lodge back in the mid-90s, razing many of the decrepit structures but also saving some of the original bungalows and much
of the main house in homage to the original lodge.
At $2.95 million its quite outside of our meager budget, but a boy can dream cant he?
