STA.ROSALILLITA construction in full swing
Hola amigos, on our way back south from Ensenada we popped in to Sta.Rosalillita to see family there and go for a swim to cool off as it is now the
closest swim stop to the highway. It's the first time I'd been in since the road was paved and WOW..10 minutes from the highway to the beach...crazy!
I took this photo of the new development there and as you can see there is work being done there. Not one checkpoint from Ensenada to Asuncion. The
potholes on the highway from Vizcaino to Asuncion have been filled but watch out for those sand dunes on the road.

last spring the locals were because they could not keep up with the sand
deposits at the mouth of the marina. dredge as they may, they felt there was no hope....but, since there is a paycheck to be had, they were still
pumping sand.
oh, and the road was magnifico!!!

Yessireee Bob, it's paved all the way to the beach now....and yeah, my old pal Alejandro loves this project as they are paying him big bucks for the
rock for the breakwater and when a big swell comes in, it throws those rocks off the top of the breakwater...so they always need more...tee hee. I
can't imagine this marina ever working either, too much silt and swell...the ocean rules....but it sure is nice to be able to visit our relatives
there now that it only takes 10 minutes from the highway!

Check points
Interesting comment about check points. I drove from Sta. Rosallita to San Quintin on August 11 and went through three checkpoints. What a
difference a week makes!

She was headed south....makes all the difference in the world.
Hell, I'll fish that area if they want to run a dredger 24/7....
Don Jorge, let's get down there!

Well, as part of the Escalera Nautica project, this marina (assuming it's completed and maintained) is not, along with the rest of the project, going
to do mush to help bring tens of thousands of American yachts as first envisioned by the project dreamers.
But there is some darn good fishing of the Pacific side, with limited launching, access, etc for small boats. I think this marina, again assuming they
get it running, will be popular with trailerboat fishermen and would support resident sport charters.
Hook wants to go.
Maybe me too.

Unfortunately any wave the breakwater creates is a fractured fraction of the ruined longest right point break in all of Baja.
The talk I've heard is that the cost to do the Environmental reports the courts ordered to be done for each habitat sensitive site for the entire
Escalerra Nautica system was over 3 Billion dollars. Who's going to come up with that kind of coin for a project that has already been proven to have
been usage overstated by 10 times? Heck, I'll do one of those reports for them at a fraction of the cost, retire and they'll still never finish it.
Last year I thought Surfrider and WildCoast had it all shut down. Our folks have a place in BoLA and there is no further construction there, which
was the proposed Mar de Cortez drop point. They sure got a nice new and much needed road out of it though. Very interesting that construction
continues at SR.
See you in Baja

Also the new pavement and signs at Bahia de L.A. to La Gringa (paved road ends by Los Vientos/La Ventana roads) tell of Escalera Stupida work.
La Gringa beach area (before Punta La Gringa) has new fence preventing free access to beach camping. The Punta La Gringa fence/ gate is open.
