On that note, there has been a large Fisher family in the Cabo area, and beyond, for a very long time.

I'm guessing they mean Laguna San Ignacio - there is the famous Fisher family from San Ignacio?? The article refers to the northern region of BCS,
and mentions Punta Abreojos and Asuncion (which are already paved). The road out to the Laguna which is currently being paved (slowly) now, and rumor
has it that it will someday continue south down to San Juanico. If this ever does happen - will really alter the transportation options (for both
travelers & cargo) through Sta. Rosalia/Mulege/Loreto corridor, as it would likely be a shorter route down the west coast. Time will tell.

The paved road from San Ignacio to La Purisima was proposed back in 1973... it cuts 100 miles off the drive to La Paz and eliminates two big mountain
grades to climb/ descend... The heads of all the towns (Santa Rosalia, Mulege, Loreto) that would lose customers and income, made a fuss!
When Hwy. 5 is finished to Laguna Chapala, that will cut close to 200 miles of driving from mainland Mexico to La Paz. They will need to build a new
highway from San Felipe to Puertecitos that can deal with high speed and volume, and it is planned to run inland, as the original road to Puertecitos
did before 1982.

'Field' translates to Campo... and the junction of the Punta Abreojos highway with Mex. 1 is at Rancho (Campo) Fisher (on Mexican topo map)
Seems they are talking about the two paved roads being completed
1) Campo Fisher to Punta Abreojos and
2) Vizcaino to Bahia Asuncion.
