Perfect storage container
Just an option to your container wants:
Years ago, I had a stationary container that was soon to become a nuisance to our expansion.
I got rid of it and bought this instead. A 28 foot car/cargo hauler with a ramp and walk-in door. Use it for an extra garage or storage, plus have
the mobility to move it anywhere. I hauled this one from North Dakota to Baja, but you can buy nationwide at a reasonable price. It would be a
great resale in Baja. Over 1700 cubic feet of storage.
A thought.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I looked on the internet for quite a while, a year or so ago, and never found anything about containers in Baja. Tell us all if you find something in
La paz, or anywhere else.

I found this online. I'd think that a palapa roof with nice, big overhangs and a front porch would be the ticket.

They have the same type of thing as above at Mammoth Bar OHV park, but they covered it with an RV canopy. I should have taken a picture of it. I
walked into it on a hot day in summer, and it was perfectly cool inside.

I have heard they are very inexpensive in Oakland, CA where there is a yard full of thousands of them. Delivery is another issue but I have seen full
size rigs delivering to San Juanico.
20ft $125
