Anyone in the know here ? We can pick her up in Loreto.

She found something for $1000 ea way - seems way tooooo steep. Any tips wd be very appreciatedBob and Susan - 5-9-2010 at 03:12 PM

where the heck is La Bocana ??

That's why almost all the US East coast traffic is headed to Cancun! Shorter travel time and "it's Mexico"!BajaBlanca - 5-9-2010 at 07:12 PM
where is La Bocana ...
We are located 10 miles north of Punta Abreojos on the Pacific .... Hope that makes it clear, but just in case:
We are the first turnoff after Vizcaino (BCS), heading south on hiway 1. We are before San Ignacio.
Punta Abreojos has a small runway ..... I will u2u as well
LOVE the idea of her coming so close to us by plane dtbushpilot - 5-9-2010 at 08:22 PM
Just go get her Mike, make it an adventure that she will never forget....
The runway at Abreojos is big enough for a DC3....how cool would that be to drop her off at her destination? Getting home? well maybe someone in the
BBP will be headed North about the time she needs to go home. Wouldn't that be a hoot.....dt

How come I can't find Punta Abreojos in BBP's red book?BajaBlanca - 5-10-2010 at 01:45 PM
it might be called LA BALIZA ??? but really should be under Abreojos
.......... can you find Campo Rene - another airstrip about 10 miles east of Abreojos ????O.G. - 5-10-2010 at 01:55 PM
Negative. No La Baliza nor Campo Rene on either the Mexican WAC charts or the BBF red book. I'm not going there, but the previous posters talk about
Abreojos as if it were common knowledge. The Mexican WAC aeronautical chart only shows Punta Abreojos as a landmark with a "light" as for sailors to
use.capt. mike - 5-10-2010 at 03:26 PM
it's hit or miss on the WAC CH-22 - i have 30 years of them and they "update" those only every 24 months -you never know what they are going to
"change" and they always have errors.
Red book has it named diff.
the old Senterfitt's guides called it out correctly. i have several of those and liked them much better than the "red book"
Hanselman's has it too.
keep looking!BajaBlanca - 5-10-2010 at 04:18 PM
Planes fly in all the time - not sure why it is not listed but for sure there is an error as Capt Mke says - the airstrip is huge and right now they
urgently need a new wind sock - major winds have torn theirs to shreds and there is a bit of thread just barely hanging on as of yesterday !! Next
visitor to P Abreojos should bring one ....tiotomasbcs - 5-10-2010 at 06:22 PM
Fly to LA or SD! Take the Aguila from TJ down south ! Orr Meet some Surfers nin Ocean Beach and ... It's an adventure. Whenyou're young ,
the best part is gettin there! Tioairmech - 5-10-2010 at 06:59 PM

Air Mech ... what a gorgeous picture ....if you fly over La Bocana, can you send us an aerial picture of our village ??? airmech - 5-11-2010 at 06:46 PM
I looked at our La Bocana pics but they don't show much of the houses. Just the old airport. Haven't been down that way in awhile but I'll remember.
Mike, Jamie will be at Pta Chivato this weekend but I gotta work.airmech - 5-11-2010 at 06:53 PM
