I knew Ernesto his wife hated it here so they lived in Chula Vista and he managed the Travel lodge in the 80's. He had the place rented out until he could sell it. His wife never wanted to come back after leaving here.
But I don't have any pictures.

the photo - wow - those were the days. And when I read the E. Stanley Gardner books too, I am so envious. The adventure, confronting the land as it is, acting on a dream to explore. Just not too much of that left anymore. And to think that all the changes have occurred in the past 75 years. For the previous 2 million years, it remained relatively untouched. And Ernesto's wife hated it there? She preferred Chula Vista?

Glad to share my experiences and collections here with all Baja enthusiasts!

If you go to the Baja Historic Interests and Literature forum, you will find a lot of interesting stuff I have posted the past 8 years here on Nomad...
