Good one Roger. Are the big plans for Sta. Barbara still in place or have they scaled it back? That whole point and cove are supposedly going to be some huge aristocrat retreat replete with Zen rooms, a golf course and big stylish condos/homes.


The developer, Lomas Santa Fe Group, in San Diego County has removed the Estero Santa Barbara website and de-activated the link to it from their own site, www.lsfg.com. The finished development was to be run by Aman Resorts who operates some of the world's most exclusive and expensive hotels. Their website also makes no reference to the Santa Barbara development. I suspect that the current financial situation has changed such high end plans. There were some good rumors in Mulege such as the old Año Nuevo airstrip being reopened as a private strip for the resort with a helicopter shuttle between them.

This is an awesome post. Thanks for sharing with us. Not sure about the rest of you, but I am relieved to hear the developments have stalled.

Here is the view from in front of the restaurant at Buenaventura... wait, what is that in the water? Is it the navy gunboat? An aircraft carrier? A frog?





No just Oliguacomole's UNDERDOG!

Me and Mark (Oliguacomole)... (from my trip report of last July)



Still no gunboats...

Roger, I believe it was "Bad Day at Black" that John Sturgis directed, although, thanks for mentioning Eagle Rock for that is where I grew up and lived for many years.
