Rancho Grande boat launch


Heading for Gonzaga Bay Monday the 9th, does anyone know if the boat launch at Rancho Grande is finished or have they decided not to build it? Also are the bad effects of constuction at the camp any better?



I\'ve been told I\'m preoccupied with Baja. They just don\"t understand, in fact neither do I.

The prefered launch seems to be across the north end of the runway from Alfonsina's Motel... into the back bay/ lagoon... the dirt is a firm surface (like the runway) and easy to drive on in the water. Of course, high tide is a must!

I think Papa Fernandez' has a launch ramp of sorts?

They do. A good spot to stay at. Secured.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
