Punta San Francisquito
Any Nomads live in PSF? I am planning a quick kayak trip for later in the Spring and am considering a trip from BOLA, and would like to ask a few
questions. Please PM if willing to share some info. Muchas gracias y Feliz Anomaly's Nuevo!
Rick

I can't wait to check this spot out in person, I've been to the other place that's a little north ( not sure of the name ). This bay looks amazing,
the other place was hit hard by the hurricane a few years ago and hasn't recovered!

The other place is next door, just south, called Punta San Francisquito. An earthquake damaged one building badly. It has the nice runway for pilots.

.... From what I understand, Puerto Sanfrancisquito is the Northern bay where Beto is, he has internet and minimal repair facilities......I have a
different email address maybe outdated..Punta Sanfrancisquito is the Southern bay with 2 landing strips and a “resort “; that’s where Juan, Rosa
and Lionel are. ( Genaros place )....Last time there internet, great meals & lodging. Supposedly purchased by Slim, but in the land of tall tales
who knows... Probably my mostest favotitest place on earth ( if you can handle it....)....By the way the beach is STUNNING....

I heartily agree, Driver. My favorite location on the entire mid-coast. Even run down it is great!!!

David as always you are correct about the names and locations of the two different spots and for those that haven’t been there they are only about a
five min dirt road drive apart.
Beto is very hospitable but I only spent an afternoon with him as I stayed at Pta SF.
Driver, I agree it’s about my most favoritest place and great fishing from the beach/rocks out front.
Unfortunately, Rosa passed away from cancer last year and it’s just Juan and his son Leonel there now.
As of a couple months ago, according to Leonel Pta SF is still owned by the same family from mainland that has owned it for years. Not sure if that is
Slim or not but I got the impression it’s the same original owners since it’s inception decades ago.

CFE is planning on building some big stuff - they might be the ones acquiring land
plan is to connect Baja to the mainland grid
supposed to happen with a high voltage sea floor cable
that cable is DC
a sub station is to convert back to AC will be close to San Francisquito
like paving roads - it might happen next year
could be in 10 years from now

..... What I got from Genaro before he died was that his family from around San Quintin ( potato farming ) owned the land... I seem to recall that
his wife may have sold the property approximately 20 years ago?.... Don’t think I’ve heard same story twice about current ownership....

A road paralleling the gulf coast from Santa Rosalia north to El Barril would sure be an economic boost and shorter drive between the two points. Does
what the No Wimps Trail did without the slow speed and need for 4WD. Someday, maybe 100 years from now, a paved road will parallel the Pacific (Seven
Sisters) coast, opening up economic resources and ending some of the isolation there, too.

.... About 15 years ago spent 7 nights there and we were the only ones there except for the occasional dirt bagger or pilot wanting fuel or food...
The vehicles there that picked you up along with your gear all had screwdrivers as ignition key....

Didn't realize they were that close to each other. Very sad news about Rosa, they were always nice and took care of us when we were there. Food was
always good and plentiful. Always stayed in the hamburgler suit...

.... Yes, sad about Rosa, always a great meal, we were there shortly after her husband Mingo died.... Quick story: 1st time there after landing, got a
ride in their van to the kitchen and Charry & Xavier were in the kitchen with their pet donkey & small dog....

Won't that be just peachy? Get all those people to all the cool places faster than ever. What could go wrong with that plan?
There is a reason people live in those isolated places and I'm pretty sure it's not because they are waiting for high speed roads and and a butt load
more people to come and visit them.

Here is the history of the resort and cabanas as I know it. First The, the resort is on Bahia Santa Theresa. The Point is Punta San Francisqito and
the bay where Beto is located is Puerto San Francisquito. The Property for the resort was originally bought by a two men,one from Tijuana and a silent
partner from Tecoman in Colima. The cabanas and runways were developed by a group from northern California. They and a couple of men from southern
California ran the resort until the early eighties. Then the man from Tijuana took it back over and his son Genaro ran it for awhile. After a couple
of years, Genaro went back to Tijuana and the place was abandoned for a few years and the one of the other sons took over. He placed Javier and Chary
there and they got everything up and running.After quite a few years, Genero came back to run the resort but fell sick with cancer and had to return
to Tijuana where he died. Juan and Rosa were friends and came in to run the place. In around 2006, the family in Tijuana decided to sell the property
and it was purchased by a group from Mexico City that we believe is part of the Carlos Slim group. That is the partial history as I know it as we were
there from 1980 to 2007.
