Mexico is not a third world country. It has the 11th largest economy in the world.

you have to understand the dynamics of how PT Final started
it started in the 50s,, mostly fly in, they have a small runway
getting into the Bay, was beyond a challenge many yrs ago, to drive in is an under statement
every board, nail etc, was a chore,, some of the places your looking at are old, not all now,, its was started as just a basic fish camp for gringos
lately it has morphed into more of a vacation homes, with a lot of up grades

Punta final was the half way pit stop for the 1973? NORRA or SCORE 500.

As I remember it was nothing. Just a very wide and hot spot in the race course. No shade, no buildings no nothing except a large amount of pit vehicles and people.

VERY, VERY, VERY HOT !!!!:fire:

To try and keep kool I stripped to my under shorts, sat in the water up to my nose with with a wet rag covering my.

Luckley my bike made it and I got on and rode thru the night to Ensenada.

Fond memories,

Corky:bounce::lol:

Great to see you posting Corky!

In June, 1973, The Baja 500 was NORRA (their last Baja race before being booted out). They ran the El Cipres-Los Martires back road east from below San Quintin, avoiding El Rosario, to El Arenoso as the new Baja highway was being built in that stretch then. Chapala north to San Felipe and back to Ensenada. Parnelli Jones was the overall winner, even though he rolled his Bronco three times and did an endo!

This is a direct quote from one of the house owners on Final.

"The real story. Rents started going up when Kevin bought punta final 12 years ago, @ 5% a year till the new rates were in line with the rest of the beaches here. 10 or 12 didn't want to pay the increase, so they hired a liar I mean lawyer, payed him over $40,000. He knew all along the law wasn't on his side, but he was a good con man/salesman. Kevin gave them 12 years to get on board or be evicted. But they were sure they were right and he was wrong. So now they are gone. "

It is interesting to read the first posting and now this one above to see how the perspective has changed.
If it's true, it's not unreasonable.

I can assure you, it's true; as I said, it's a direct fwd. from one of the tenant/owners on the beach. It is kind of like what the fly said while standing on the mirror: "Well, that's another way of looking at it!".

I have a quote from the American tenant. It isn't from the owner/lessor HIMSELF, so for gawd's sake, don't believe me. I'll just keep 'em to myself.
:rolleyes:

Just got an email from folks I know at Gonzaga too; said it's been going on for years down at Punta Final, no big thang. And, the rents at Gonzaga are a whole lot more, too. She told me the rates there, but i'm keeping that to myself also.

Anyone interested can find out for themselves. :smug:

did not say did not believe you. just said in so many words thate there are multiple truths in contract disputes, and the truths are often contradictory.

many strive for truthiness, and many never achieve it!
