Todos Santos Airport?


Does anyone on this website have any information on the status of the airport at Todos Santos? It was "closed" a few years back but appeared to be in good shape. Is that airpot now open, and if not, who can I contact to ask permission to land there? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks,

http://www.bajabushpilots.com (message board with forums for each Baja airstrip and more...)

Here is the Todos Santos forum: http://www.bajabushpilots.com/yabbse/index.php?board=85

Last reports say the strip is barracated with barrels on the runway to prevent landings... Perhaps open only with advanced notice, as the runway is there and looks otherwise good.

There are some plans in the works, but timing is debatable. As soon as I get more info I will share.
