life along the agua verde road

Just recently, because of me being arrested and briefly jailed (the second time this past winter season), we were introduced to your website. The reason for both lock-up visits being the 18 year fight with respect to control of Rancho El Carrizalito suit, generated by my website, www.dondavidonbaja.com, attacking the developer of the Marina San Cosme scheme, or scam, which now I can report as quite dead.
My wife and I are winter time residents of the Agua Verde road area now for 26 years, us being the only long term gringos along that coastline – between Ensenada Blanca and Timbabichi, roughly a 70 mile stretch – for a number of those early years. All the families, both along that stretch of the Sea of Cortez, and back up in the mountains, we know all the players.
Our rancho, El Carrizalito, we possess, along with our varied Mexican partners, the papers going back to 1927. Moons Guide book now has the rancho, along with the services provided by the Romero family at San Cosme, in it.
Specifically I like to respond to inquires about the huge house out on Punta San Cosme (before you get to Agua Verde), which seems to have caused some of your sites readers confusion.
The hot-shot developer who dreamt up the Marina San Cosme pipe dream scam, built that monstrosity as a model home, him trying to show what was possible there. We have dubbed it the albatross, the expense of keeping the swimming pool (which leaks) and the green plants alive, being, well, extraordinary. It takes two to three big water trucks, this water being hauled about 25 ks. down the Agua Verde road, per week, to keep up the charades.
The structure behind this massive eye sore is an unfinished casa, built for the only sucker who bought in. Most likely it will never be completed. More later.
