I think it was determined to be a general's hunting lodge/ prostitution retreat? That was at Santa Isabel Canyon, north of Mano/ south of Palomar Canyon... See the airplane/ landing strip symbol for the general's plane?

interesting is the road that was built south of the building, extending about 3 miles. Anyone any info on that one?

I remember the time when the house was active. Military everywhere. You could not get closer than about a mile. However, I used Arroyo Santa Isabel one day and got very close to house. Almost got me arrested.

Thanks Harald... never saw a road up the mountain from the place before... but I haven't looked in a while.

There is just so much Baja to explore... and so little time in our life!

On edit, if it was going to be re-occupied... maybe for a cell tower or some other antenna to reach Mexicali?

Desperately need them for my beans mix - so, can someone please get 10 cans?
