I fumbled around long enough to view the site, but don't know how to post the image here.
I'm curious, possibly a water treatment plant? Why don't you plan on tightening up that broken leg bone a little more, and we can go check it out in
October!

I could be wrong but I believe its the home of the Chupacabra's.
It could also be the Baja version of area 51.
Actually it could be both.

Did you mean this?
It looks like some kind of a barge. Have no idea.
Maybe a Star Wars prop.

I believe that is the desalinization plant that came from Germany some years back to take salt water and tun to fresh for crops in the Magdalena
Plain.......With the pumping station on the land part.

More than likely a desalination plant. Plans are also in the works for such a plant in San Quintin......or so I was told a couple weeks ago while down
there.

I've walked around there. Whatever it was, it ain't no more. Looked to be abandoned for years.

Bummer that I didn't know about that place when I was in Lopez Mateos last August... looks to be just 5 miles north of town on a graded road. Some
ground-based photos, anyone?

this was an ambitious and evidently failed project, come on somebody's got to have the scoop on this?

There is a failed hydroponic plant just outside Punta Chivato - built it before they figured out there was no water. 27 02 02 N 112 02 56 W
Crazy!

there are several abandoned production sites and harbors around Magdalena Bay. One of them a US Naval site from around 1900 on Isla Magdalena.

The Baja, she is a large and mysterious place !
One could spend a couple of lifetimes and not discover it all, many have tried....
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

I've been on that thing several times. There used to be a shellfish farm in the channel just past that concrete pier. They loaded and unloaded large
craft there while the farm was operating. The buildings around there, some now housing squatting fishermen, were living quarters for employees and
equipment sheds.

The barge was taken there when they were dredging for phosphorus in the estero. The abandoned buildings were housing and offices for the project.
The first time I was there, there was rigging and other stuff on the barge, over the last twelve years or so the rateros have stripped it for
anything that could be salvaged and sold.
