first , do you have the concession for the beach

I would think it might last one big storm

You can do it if you get the concession, then do an environmental study and apply to Semarnat for a permit, then go to your municipality for there permit, maybe a State permit and then a building permit. Should take a few years and a lot of frustration......

Now thats down right Funny !!

or---- aluminum ramps like tow trucks and auto-transport trucks use-

you would need at least 4 or more to lay onto sand

been done before --- good luck

In the old days, yes, in today's days, no. The Federal Zone is patrolled pretty regularly. This past summer three guys with their survey tools marched the beaches in Bahia de Los Angeles. If you build it you will be taxed a hefty sum.
If you can beach launch, that's the ticket. We have a set of military ramps that we sometimes have to use under the front wheels of our truck, depending on the season and the sand build up.

Aw, Doņa P, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. IF they do get the last 26 miles done on the upper road BdLA is next on the list. Gonzaga and Punta Final are already probably spoken for in one way or another. You and the older ilk of Baja, like Mongo, are "just pawns in chess game of life".

We can't complain though, like the early pioneers of the Colorado Plateau, the John Muirs, the Hemingways, all that came before, invited others and passed on the buzz of Baja are responsible. There are some who think they're the Last Pioneers: also known as "NIMBY Door-slammers" (NIMBY = Not In My Back Yard) that think they can move in, be on the 'Edge Of Wilderness' and no one else may pass. They shall be the last, and protectors of the realm. The Knights Templar of Wilderness. Alas we, if not started it, propagated the flow. Progress marches on.

*Sigh*
