Bajabass,
Give Loreto a look. Fairly exstensive gringo population, new hospital, which was up to recently looking for staff, great fishing, laid back community,
always in need of a decent mechanic. Housing shouldn't be a problem either.

That's a ton of driving in 4 days you need 10 days. 6 days for fun and exploring for the future.

I have done the drive from O.C. to Mulege in one day, three different times. It is a pain, but I cannot take much time off at the shop. I may need to
send my wife down alone to check out the work situation. Since I am going to cease being the main breadwinner in the family, final destination will be
determined by work needs for her.My only needs are my boat and Mar De Cortez!!!

OK fellow If we can find reasonably gainful employment for her, I can retire and spend my days fishing in parsdise with Pescador, Russ, and Pomp!
That's our deal, she works and goes to even more school now, and I get to fish full time when we finally make it south.  Any thoughts, ideas, leads, or suggestions would be great!! [/quote
How can you improve on a perfect situation? You do not need my advice! |

At this point I have been renting from a very old friend. If you are familiar with the ejido above Punta Prieta, I leased the first empty lot on the
cliff that looks down on the river road and the beach at the turn out. My neighbor is Bill Rooney. On a clear day I can see all the way to the
Coronado Islands! I have not started to build for several reasons. The ejido tried to start collecting money for trash and security. The few that did
not want to pay raised a stink and got lawyers involved. Now there is no trash pick up, and very questionable security. There have been several
breakins, a panga stolen, cars broken into and almost stolen. They have closed the road for use into the ejido at the Punta offramp, so now we have to
go the long way around. In 8 years my lease caps at 2600. a year. Until things return to normal, I am not going to invest a lot of money in La Mision.
I do plan on renting my little house forever. A place to escape the heat, close to the border, but not to close. The same reasons it has been the
perfect escape on most weekends for the last eight years. Unless the lease rights could be sold for a good sum, I'll keep the lot and hope for better
times to build.

Thanks for the tip audiobaja. We have begun even more serious discussions over the last few days. She likes the idea of La Paz, or within commuting
distance of a teaching hospital. She is also afraid she would get bored quickly in a real small town. I on the other hand, after running a retail
business in Socal for many years, want to get away from as much of the rat race as possible. If that area will make her happier, there are plenty of
fish there, and plenty of places to trailer a small boat within a days towing. It could be the best of both worlds. Big city access, easy escape to
solitude! I'll google the name of the hospital, and show her the results. Are you located in the La Paz area?

La Paz is a great little town, big enough to have all your needs and small enough to not feel like you are lost, plus they could always use a good
mechanic.

In my trips south, I never stopped in La Paz. Seemed about the size of Ensenada, only cleaner.

Good luck Jon....I really think you would be happy with La Paz. Even though it has become very large it still has a small town feel... And like you
said plenty of fishing to be had.

There are pages upon pages of google results for Salva Tierra. I'll have to let my wife sort through them all, and make a few calls. Thanks again
Audiobaja. I am honored that your first post is a very gracious offer mulegehouse. We have stayed at the Serinidad a few times in the past. Always
made very welcome and comfortable. Ah, carnitas and cubas by the pool on a Saturday night!! I will surely be in touch when we get down there. We had already planned on staying there anyway. I swear I wish I could pack and leave
now!! I am at work rebuilding the front suspension on a 1 ton box van, on a crisp, clear, socal morning

Audiobaja, if you are in the neighborhood, ask if they are still hiring please. My wife is a general doctor now, and contemplating different
specialties. Any feedback would be great!

If one was to just compare municipality population numbers, Ensenada has around 70,000 more people. But since La Paz is more isolated from surrounding
development, it has considerably fewer people in the combined surrounding area. I agree with just about everything said about the place. And remember,
it has a Dorian's.

The last thing my shoe addict wife needs is more choices of where to spend money!
Are there reasonably priced rentals near the beach, but out of town a little? Say within a 20 or 30 minute drive? She needs a city, I need some peace
and quiet.

Very nice place Diver, but I think it will sell before we are able to relocate. A bit out of my price range now as well. I think a rental where ever
we decide will be the first step. I can see a lot of thought went into the building. The guest casita would be perfect for my wife's 15 year old son,
and more privacy for us. May drive by for a look in February, and dream.

There are plenty of desirable places within 30 or so minutes of downtown.
