Yeah, what's up with the fence? Saw that last time I stopped there. That area sure has changed a lot since the 70's. I remember when the hotel next
door was named Ernesto's run by a friendly lady named Eva. She would always cook what I caught. I would trade cigs and dirty magazines to the abalone
divers for abs and Eva would fry them up for me. I always brought her big bags of rice and beans when staying there. I really miss that lady.

bob, this was from a nomad 4 years ago replying to a question I raised about ernesto's.
I knew Ernesto his wife hated it here so they lived in Chula Vista and he managed the Travel lodge in the 80's. He had the place rented out until he
could sell it. His wife never wanted to come back after leaving here.
do you have any photos from back in the day, when there were car ports between each room at the old mill? and each room had a stove and refrigerator
and a bed that made you sleep on the floor?

I'm sure I do somewhere. I just moved last November and a lot of stuff is still in boxes. I'll look around. Didn't they have an old ping pong table
too? Ernesto's and The Old Mill were a lot of fun back then. There used to be a fishing guide who's name was Chanjo (sp?) who was really good but he
got fired because he was drunk too much. I was down there years ago and these gringos were getting ready to launch their old wooden cabin cruiser. As
I walked by I noticed that one of the prop blades was bent so I mentioned it to them and advised them not to go out without changing the prop or at
least trying to straighten it. There was a pretty good north swell that week. They just laughed at me and shooed me away as they proceeded to finish
loading up their cases of beer. I was there for a couple more days and they never returned. A month later I came back for a few days and was talking
to Chanjo and asked him what ever happened to those guys. He said they broke down offshore and went adrift for a couple days and finally were spotted
by a cargo ship. The cargo ship threw them a super long tow rope and started towing them north. Well, sometime during the night, the rope came loose
from their boat and they were once again adrift. I guess they can't tie very good knots either. They finally wound up off Guerrero Negro and someone
towed them to the harbor. They showed up at the Old Mill about two weeks later and drove there truck and trailer back down to pick up their boat.

That would be nice except for the fact that he hasn't been posting here recently. Had a great evening with him several years back, drinking and dinner
at Jardines restaurant whilst he was building his place nearby. Nice guy.

Bahia Falsa is such a beautiful area --- even though a close friend of mine was cheated in a land purchase there.

San Quintin, Baja California, Mexico
It's a farming area. I think this is where 'plastic' grows....
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
