Good News ! Praise the Lord ! Hallelujah !
I just spoke with a friend from Gonzaga who came North last night and he said that the government is hard at work repaving the last 14 miles
into Puertecitos.. Wonders never cease. Hopefully, they'll finish before they run out of money or materials. Quien Sabe ?

Bullio - Buenos Dias, You All
Well, shucks Kemosabe, I can palaver pretty OK in that there lingo when I need to parley with the natives.
No, my father was never known as the Lone Ranger, as far as I can recollect. He was known by a lot of names that I can't repeat in a family forum. I
called him a few of those myself. Unlike you, I did know who my father was, though.

Bill, you scoundrel !!! Lou , yer RIGHT !!
I am lucky to be able to fly "most of the times" .
The times (every month) that I have to drive that %^4#%$^, road I spend plenty of time cussing and praying !!
But I would rather it stay "unmaintained " so as to keep some of the traffic out !!
I have seen a large increase in the amout of traffic south of Mexicali and around San Felipe. The safety factor is decreasing .

Well, don't forget who bought some land in Gonzaga... I'm in Puerto Penasco (a couple beers into the night), but President Fox's wife family bought
some land there last year, and sources say a cabinet member is looking now.
The road will be paved to Gonzaga sooner than later and not like the local gov't has always said, this is for real I believe.

That is one bad road I have always wished was even worse....we don't need any more 'easy' access. But as I conveyed on this board a couple of years
ago...it is a done deal!

President Fox's wife gets around. She bought land inLoreto too, or so the rumors say, and that's why they will pave the road to San Javier.

Urban Fable ?
I have yet to see any authoritative confirmation of these "Land Deal" rumors. Interestingly, those closest to the area in question are the most
skeptical.
Proof, Anyone ?
I can sympathize with those to the South who regret the road improvement. I felt the same when the highway South of San Felipe was improved. I'm
also one of the few who dread the arrival of commercial electricity. For a long time now, I have told those who inquired about buying land in or near
the burgeoning metropolis of San Felipe, to forget about it and go well south of the good pavement for the best deals. Electricity and a paved road
are contributing to ridiculous inflation of the land prices.
Good Roads make for MORE neighbors.

Do not feel sorry for Richard nor Coco. Now might be a good time to invest with them before they go public with their IPOs. Although I have four stout
4xs, I don't njoy cooking the Ranchos and Bilsteins. I do respect however those of the opposing opinion. Besides, we are not in control and it's less
stressful to go with the flow. In regards to the electricity, it will reach beyond Percebu and BSM within the next 5 years according to Pat Butler. He
claims to be in a position to know and has made a large investment in the road from the highway to shell beach er Island. We produce 5-6 kw/day and do
not intend to hook up when the power comes.

Sympathy
My expression of sympathy didn't extend to those who are making money off of the Baja Boom. They are in a separate class (or lack
thereof). "Peso Pursuit Pat" is in a class all by himself. Those who know and are influenced by his pursuit have varying opinions of where that
class ranks. I've only met him once so I have little opinion, other than I tend to distrust anyone who drives a Hummer. But that's just me.
That electrico business could be tricky. In the past, I've talked with two different people who were in Campos on the West Coast where Electricity
came in and they were not given the option of paying or not paying for the installation. They were assessed.

If the campo owner decided to install then he might be able to assess the tenants proportionally. I've never heard of the CFE installing without
permission. Why would they care? It's not like they're in business to make a profit.
Which campos?

When Pete's Camp got electricity a few years ago, all tenents were assessed a portion of the cost.

I guess it depends on the Campo. When Campo Ocotillos powered up, the total cost was split amongst those who wanted to hook up. Those who chose not to
or were not in the camp at the time must now pay a higher price to those who originally paid for the system. Those fees are then rebated back to the
original purchasers of the infrastructure.
