There are still a few spaces available from Alma and I believe Paco also.
Many have begun the rebuilding process and a few have finished their projects. There are two options, permanent house or the palapa option as before.
The palapa option is not of the traditional palm construction as before.
Building must be approved by the park and local authorities. Flamable building materials are not allowed. Most posts and beams for the palapa type
coverings are either milled lumber or metal and roofs are either metal, inflammable composites or milled, painted lath.
Those building houses are doing so on rented land, year to year leases. Alma says she will do 10 year leases if you pay the 10 years up front. There
are no provisions in the new leases preventing annual rent increases. Annual inflation indexed increases are the norm.
Electricity, water and sewer are provided in the lease and are functioning.
I suspect many more will begin building/rebuilding this fall. It is too hot to get much done right now.
We are going to build a wood post, metal roof palapa tp cover our trailer, boat and truck. Thus we follow the age old adage: only spend what you can
afford to walk away from, or in this case, drive out with stuff in tow.
Without the traditional palm palapa look the parks ambience has changed forever. But its location remains as prime as always being so close to the sea
and mountains.
If you choose to rent a space check out that specific space first. A few are building rather large houses there and nearby views are blocked and
their mega ton air-conditioners are going to be obnoxiously loud and add to the heat nearby.
Hope this helps.

Roberto,
the leases, when all is said and done, are running around $6,000.00 per year.
Do you still have your Albemarle?

Mood: After 34 years. Still in love w/ my wife

Don Jorge. Any changes at the marina this summer. Still $20.00 to launch & park?? Are they pumping fuel at the sea wall yet? Boy will that be
great for the fisherman when that finally happens. Don. Rumor has it, the rates for moorage at Puerto Escondido in the harbor have been drastically
reduced, and boats are returning to their old locations. Any truth to this?

Not sure what "all is said and done" means, but $6,000? For what?
Albemarle, what Almemarle? 
Yessir, I sure do. I'm thinking seriously about moving the boat to the mainland - San Carlos area - in the fall.

Roberto,
All said and done is just they have a bunch of friggin add ons and it sums up to around 6 grand, but they don't give you the figure in one lump sum.
Whatever.
As for what, we figure it's for the location and the security. You can leave it all there, fly back and forth non stop from San Diego for a few bills
and a few hours later you are there and so is your stuff, just like you left it.
For sure it's not for everybody, but 6 grand ain't what it used to be.
As of late July the Pemex wasn't open and very few boats on the cans inside.
San Carlos is a great location. Good luck.

Those were my thoughts exactly! $6,000 sounds a little steep. I really like the Loreto area though so I guess my options are limited. Do you know
of other places I could place a trailer. Tripui was the only one I was familiar with and it was a gorgeous place before the fire. I recently heard
of a place called Loreto Shores but I don't know anything about it or even where it is at.

Loreto Shores is on the other side of the arroyo, past Villas de Loreto. On the main drag you take a right at the corner before Mike's bar and
follow that road across the arroyo. One hint:there is a fork just past the arroyo...do not go to the right, stay straight. You will pass a sign for
Villas and then 3 or 4 blocks more you will run into Loreto Shores. Someone from Loreto may be able to help me here with actual street names.

Well maybe I will get this right this time. These directions are heading toward the water.

I understand and agree about the location and security. Great to have your stuff down there, fly down, drive down and it's all there and ready to go.
Great area too - no question about that. Good luck right back at you.

Alan---After the fire about one half rebuilt or are rebuilding in Tripui. $6,000 may not be what it used to be but for those of us retired it is
still a lot of money. On the other hand, you get use of the pool and security (such as it is). Puerto Escondido isn't for everyone, but it is
different and quieter than many of the other parks. It is located l8 Klms south of Loreto so you have to go to town for gas and supplies once a week.
Next to it is Juncalito. More primative and the owners can be a problem from time to time. It has not electricity or water, but I understand that
is going in soon. It is one of the prettier places in the Loreto area so many just put up with the inconveniences of living there. It is not a park,
per se. However you can least your lot and put your trailer on it. Loreto Snores is at the south end of Colonia Zaragossa and is run by a very nice
lady named Jan. However, you have to put up with caravans pulling in and out all the time. A better option for many is to buy a piece of land in
Loreto, in a neighborhood you like, and park you trailer on it and build a palapa. I like this idea as you control your future much more than dealing
with a mexican landlord. All have their pluses and minuses. I have touched on just a few of the parks in and around Loreto. There are many more. I
would suggest you take a vacation in Loreto and look around. Ask the americanos what they like where they live. Ask the Mexicans too. Many are
dying to get someone to rent the back half of their property and they will watch your things when you are not there. You need to find one that you
are confortable with. If interested, u2u me and I can give you more help. I am very familiar with the Loreto area having visited and lived there for
35 years. (that does not make me any smarter or more Mexican than some in Mexico for their first trip) but it does give me an advantage. I am
friendly with the Mexicans and have many local friend that would be more than happy to help you. Good Luck, Sharky
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

Alan, Capt. Sharky covered it well. Understand your concerns about the cost. Tripui is not for everybody. We are not retired, far from it.
There are many other options as Sharky pointed out. The locals with space to rent for living and storage is a very good, very enlightening and
affordable way to stay in Loreto. Many of my friends there offered me that option. I didn't want to deal with the launch ramp crowd, I fish alone
often, and my boat is to tall to be draggin through town w/o breaking down the tower every trip. Plus, when in Baja I play hard and sleep early.
Loreto is getting a bit noisy for old fuudy duddys like me.
Tripui has the location, security, quiet, a pool, "free" internet, a great launch ramp nearby to the park and the islands and is close to the
Gigantes.
Buying a place and building a place doesn't pencil out for us. Loreto , and Baja for that matter, are the here and now. I am renting in the here and
now.
We will be retiring elsewhere, in the tropics, where we own a few parcels, but Baja is easier to do as a vacation home. You don't know the meaning
of petty theft until you try to set up a base of operations in Centro America!
Good luck. You are right to pick Loreto. It is a gem!

Thank you to everyone for your responses. Obviously there are a lot more options out there for me than I was aware of. Captsharkey and Don Jorge,
you both have u2u's and thanks for sharing your knowledge of the area.
