Hey Jerry.
Making fun of Skeet after your post almost makes no sense. You got him beat by miles. Btw, when are you getting here to Loreto. As two dumb Dutchmen
, we gotta have a cold one together, right. ?? Looking forward to making your acquaintance. Big word, like mountain or elephant

Jerry. You guys have a great time down in the motorhome. Best check with him to see how much brake lining is left before you leave. The Santa
Rosalia hill coming down is a killer. And I use the term loosely. I remember "fading" out my brakes in my 96 Dodge pickup in 96 when we brought down
our 28' tow trailer. Auto transmission, so didn't have the luxury of being able to "down shift".
Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Historic Oakland Oregon. A lifetime ago!!!!!!Jerry V.D. Danny Thomas. Jugs Gardner. And a few others that "didn't make it"!!!!!
See you guys when I get down there. Surgery has been rescheduled again for the third time. Can't seem to shake this danged chest cold. Supposed to
be the 6th now. Hold your breath. Come to think of it. You'll be holding your breath going down S.R. hill toooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somehow, don't sell out. Somehow
I am new to this site, but am amazed at the community and knowledge here. I'm not someone who posts things and I appologize for the length here, but
lets just see what happens.
I am 40, just retired (not rich, just hopefully smart; my moto = wana get rich quick lower your material standards). I am a person that follows my
"inner drive" and have been "inner driven" for about 6 months to cruise the baja and see if that is a place I would like to spend my winters with my
wife and 10yo son. Buy something?
I then found out through my studies that my thinking obviously is not unique. Loreto was where my homing device is calling, but then I read about this
mass development and the obvious inherant issues.
My profession has always been basically a "Solutions Engineer", I belive a true solution is comes from a triange of success. Each coner of the
triangle represent the participants (one is always the Earth/Sustainability) and in order for true success to occure, everything needs to remain in
balance. That means no one corner trys to pull from the others to increase their share.
So the question that keeps teasing me is this; There must be some way that Gringo's like me could basically buy into property within these desired
areas in partnership with the Native owners? Seems many Natives would (are/will) otherwise find them selves working for the people they previously
sold out to, and only gaining the one time benefit($) from basically selling the control of Homeland. Ancient histories taken over and rulled by
Condo owners within a ten year period seems like suicide. Someting along these lines seems a much more viable option. And since most future residences
would not be full time, why could we not occupy more of a slice of what we came for than the pie we are trying to get away from? I envision something
like having my accomidations on part of an estate where I have improved the property of the Native owners in exchange.
I know my thinking is different, but it has always paid off for me. Somehow mysteriously, by not looking out for myself first all the time, I have
more than I could ever respecfully ask for.
Let me know any opinions on this approach. Take the idea farther. I am willing to try something different, esspecially if it could prove to be a good
example. I don't want to ruin a culture, just get out of the rain and suround my family with a "better" pace and community.
As it rains here in Seattle I will be packing up my motorhome. I am thinking of slowly cruising to La Paz and taking the ferry across, then driving up
the other side. I have never been to Mexico, really looking forward to this.
Hope you didnt get 2 shaken from the earthquake. How common is that? Very cool forum, thanks for your time and hope it doent come off 2 weird, but oh
well.

You have a lot of good points - which have essentially all been discussed before. A few comments: the "natives" did not sell out for the LB project.
The land was FONATUR regulated and it WAS a beautiful, undeveloped beach.
"I envision something like having my accomidations on part of an estate where I have improved the property of the Native owners in exchange."
Wouldn't it have been nice if LB did the same thing instead of ruining the very unique landscape it hopes to fill with 6,000 adobe structures.
Instead, LB could have been built on the other side of the highway in Loreto. But you are on track and it can be done. And other locales in Mexico
offer a lot more than Baja - price-wise and other amenities and ambiance as well. Do some research.
