A few years back there was talk of the Chinese building a port in San Quintin. Big enough to for an enormous ship. Ships to big for San Diego. I
have not heard anything about it for a long time, what ever happened?
For that matter there are a lot of storys we never hear the end of.
What ever happened to the family from oregon that got robbed and beaten by the check point guards near San Ignacio? Did the criminals get arrested,
or are they still guarding the check point?David K - 11-12-2016 at 01:06 AM
The first question sounds a bit like the Punta Colonet sea port project? It got canned when America's economy went crashing about 8 years ago and we
stopped trading so much from/to Asia.KurtG - 11-12-2016 at 07:59 AM

At the time it was reported that the big money shipping companies behind the Punta Colonet project withdrew instantly when the Panama Canal
expansion started which will give the new huge container ships direct access to the US gulf and east coast ports without the railway link that was an
essential part of the new port.elgatoloco - 11-12-2016 at 08:28 AM
Brilliant analysis by the glass always half empty cartographer and king of baja.............
Plan cooked up by Mexican politician who owns acres of land in Colonet
Rail line to Arizona to transfer goods to east coast
Zero existing infrastructure
Environmental disaster
Water deficit for planned city of 125,000 inhabitants (6,500 current)
Lack of interest by the container market to invest
Expansion of Long Beach and San Pedro ports
Expansion of Panama Canal
$12 billion dollar cost
Anyone in their 'right' mind can obviously see that it's all Obama's fault.
President elect Grab Them By The Pussy will fix it.

So, you are agreeing with me, it was Punta Colonet and not San Quintin? LOL to your political sidebar Matt. Don't riot, please. joerover - 11-12-2016 at 07:30 PM
