There are 3 in the late Harry Merrick's book "Baja Traveler" taken in about 1974.
Let us know what you find.

I can get you several from the older Baja books... I just need to scan them and will post here... perhaps tonight or over the weekend!
About 1960

Okay... had a busy day... sorry for the delay!
Here is a page from Erle Stanley Gardner's 1961 book 'Hovering Over Baja':
Here is a close up of Puertecitos... as it looked about 1960 just as it was getting started...
Before 1970... 1969?

Oh gee thanks Barry... I assure you I have on a swim suit! I am way too modest (when I was 9 1/2)!Von - 6-28-2009 at 09:41 AM

My House shows up clearly in most of the pics. However the dates are a little suspect when I spot a couple that were not constructed at those dates
???
I think that the Bonanza ride is gonna cost you an access to some of those pics so that I can copy them for our town history !David K - 6-28-2009 at 10:12 AM
Great... I am guessing a bit on the photos as I know when those books were published... I said 1960 for the 1961 book, 1969 for the 1970 book (it
could be earlier indeed), 1973 for the 1974 book...
I will edit those dates, just tell me when you think they were taken. I will be happy to send you the full size files of each scanned page!Bob H - 6-28-2009 at 01:41 PM
