Hi Kgryfon,
It is from THIS WEBSITE. Roberto or a helper elf created the AAA updated map. Both Roberto & I like playing with maps & Google Earth images and
creating 'stuff.'

Go, go, danaeb. You'll really enjoy it!
Linda & Robert are wonderful hosts & friends!
Bring some doggie treats if you can.
This part of the Pacific Coast is spectacular! Isolated. Calm. Rough. Serene. Surprising.
Just my humble opinion.

Thanks, Blanca, and Bryan, for your kind comments. Looking forward to your future visits!
Danaeb - do stop by and say hello if you're out exploring in our area.
Road update - the paving project between Reforma#1 and Conquista is in full swing and is scheduled for completion by the end of November. Possible to
drive that stretch on little side detours around the work.

More photos of the beach at La Aguja were posted by area resident and Baja Nomad 'rob', here: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=57770#pid6903...
'rob' also provided much assistance to Mike Younghusband when he walked to Cabo from Tecate...

Is the well and water storage for your home or the community ?
Wow, having an on site water source out on those remote beautiful beaches is awesome. We looked at terraino north of Todos Santos but thought hauling
water would get old faster than us.
Have fun out there, your place looks great

Thanks BajaRat - yes, this is a great place and we love living here!
As for your water question - it is very scarce on this stretch of coast.
The ranch wells provide for both ourselves and the Playas community. The photos are a long way from the most beautiful we have - but show the five
22,000 liter storage tanks and the main well itself.
When we first landed here we hauled water for two or three years ourselves - 7km to nearest well up a bad road - and it DID get old fast.

Rob, from http://www.playaspacificas.com/ was the key guy in finding a surfer camped at Conejo last year when the surfer's mom had not heard from the 35
year old surfer in over 2 weeks.
After the drama settled in the family, the mom bought me a bottle of one of my favourite liquers, Benedictine....
I owe Rob more than a U2U thanks......hmmmmm the Benedictine is all gone......well a verbal gracias and a handshake may have to do when I pass
through this January 
Don't believe everything you think....

willardguy - We make a run to La Paz for necessary groceries and other supplies and we also have a huge veggie garden and a carniceria and so that
cuts down a lot on what we need to get from La Paz - and we can get fish from the locals or go fishing ourselves There are a couple very very basic
small tienditas in the nearby villages (with soda pop, chips, cooking oil....that's about it).

R y L,
I have been to the local tienda and your requested "supplies" have been purchased. I will strap them to my lil' Mexican rental burro on Saturday and
have them to you a week later after a delivery to Baja's "western hook" and a pickup there for another nomad.
Anyone else need "supplies" moved around?

Hi Linda, I'll do that before arriving or passing thru CC. How about a few steaks? Do the dogs need anything?

before you leave La Bocana and if we happen to be short of anything, I could ask you to pick it up in Ciudad Constitucion. |

We went up here today. The paved road goes all the way to Conquista Agraria now. Trip took just over an hour from La Paz.
