Thanks, Jan.......
Yeah....The place is really neat. One or two pools, a muy rustico pitch and putt golf course [ home to about a billion rattle snakes ] Lodging, a
kick-ass bar and dining room...all booked for private events. Too bad the prior owners have made such a mess of things.
I think some of the racers here are familiar with the place as well.
I'm going to have to make a trip out there to see what's up.

The Last Time We Visited
Rancho Ensenada, the owner in possesion at that time had built an outdoor bar (for drinks) from lava rock trucked in from San Quintin with nooks for
orchid plants and an automatic irrigation system.
He also had an ingenious drip irrigation system for the fields that drew water from the underground water table and was planning to revive the vinyard
and start an organic farm with this amazing new fertilizer, amongst many other things.
A grand vision that didn't work out.

No, Woody. I'm serious. I don't live in the middle of it so I don't see it. Could it be true, with all the military and police everywhere, that
this guy runs around without being collected? I know there's corruption but, even Mexicans wouldn't put up with this. |

You're talking about that fiasco with Bob Dumas and Aaron Funk? That's like an epic Norse saga. Everybody was ripping off everybody else.

Teo hasnt been arrested yet, but its clear they are completely dismantling his organization. This last week his main Marijuana supplier and his
brother in law where arrested. As well as several cops that provided him with protection. He is on the run, and from what i hear, running from a 5
million bounty by the authorities, and a 20 million bounty from rivals.

I'm surprised he didn't run for public office. He would have won based on the success the other narco-supported candidates had. He didn't escape- no
one is even chasing him. The people voted to support the narco-accepted past, not the Calderon future. In the next election Calderon will lose the
rest of his power. Teo understands the people hate their governement and the war he started. It's not right- but it is classic Mexico!
