There are 3 in the late Harry Merrick's book "Baja Traveler" taken in about 1974.

Let us know what you find.

About 1960


Okay... had a busy day... sorry for the delay!

Here is a page from Erle Stanley Gardner's 1961 book 'Hovering Over Baja':



Here is a close up of Puertecitos... as it looked about 1960 just as it was getting started...

Mood: happy to be in Baja

Thanks David !!!


My House shows up clearly in most of the pics. However the dates are a little suspect when I spot a couple that were not constructed at those dates ???

I think that the Bonanza ride is gonna cost you an access to some of those pics so that I can copy them for our town history !

Great... I am guessing a bit on the photos as I know when those books were published... I said 1960 for the 1961 book, 1969 for the 1970 book (it could be earlier indeed), 1973 for the 1974 book...

I will edit those dates, just tell me when you think they were taken. I will be happy to send you the full size files of each scanned page!
