Love it. My first time to LA Bay was in 68 when I flew a group of fishermen down from Oregon.

I had forgotten how barren and desolate BOLA looked 50 years ago.
The video brought back some old memories.

Good to see this video posted again... Airplanes were the main traffic to L.A. Bay before 1974. Papa Diaz' was the only game in town for
accommodations. The first solar powered hot water system I experienced. Tanks on top of each room were warmed by the sun all day, so if you wanted a
hot shower, it couldn't be too long after sundown!

That's because there was a lot more fish to catch back
then.

Hola Marc,
I hate to say this but it will be a city. The question will be what will it look like and surely not much fish. Some very wealthy and powerful
individuals/companies have bought the majority of not only the bay but also the 18 beaches and wetlands along the 130-miles of coast of the Ejido
Tierra y Libertad (La Asamblea to San Rafael). The biggest investors are on the Fortune 500 list. They are so big that they do not need to quickly
generate a return on their investment. This is why not much has happened in BLA despite the change in ownership. Other factors accounting for the
delay include the (perceived/real) narco violence in Mexico and the US economic downturn. But change is coming.
Last year I presented a lecture at the Aquarium of the Pacific where I discussed lost conservation opportunities and enviro impacts in Baja from
2000-2010. BLA plays a big role. We could have come away with big conservation outputs that would have directly benefited the ejido and
marine/coastal environments. Pero ni modo. Here is the link to the lecture:

Good things can still be done. Lets hope they get it right.
Peace,
Aaron

Aqsurfer - Keep up the good work!
Maybe the investors have purchased all the property so that it will never be developed?

Thanks Gatoloco,
You are on the right track. In 2006 acknowledging that BLA was about to be sold off and dramatically change, I negotiated a deal with the ejido to
masterplan the future. I got Scripps, Hubbs Marine Research Station, UABC, University of Mass (urban planning dept), E-Tech International
(alternative energy), world renown architects, the list goes on and on. Great team to plan/account for conservation priorities and future growth.
Unfortunately, I could not generate the support I needed and the ejido sold off key areas in early 2008. Game over for my plan.
The point is that it could be done right, even though "right" now includes the growth of a town into a city.
Peace,
Aaron

At 4:15 in the movie the folded up cots along the wall I have slept on and I parked my airplane in the same spots the first time I was down there.

We also slept on the cots as it was too hot in the rooms in the summer. The generator shut down at 10 pm and then we saw only stars. When 24 hour
power lines from Guerrero Negro arrived a few years ago, some of the uniqueness was lost.

I learned that standing up to pee in the bathroom at Diaz's at 10 pm wasn't the best thing to do.
