Bay of LA Electricity
I haven't been to the BoLA in several years, but it was one of my favorite spots in Baja. I'm in a position now to purchase property in Baja and am
very much leaning towards an area with electricity vs. something like Punta Chivato. I really like the PC area but being on the grid is my first
choice. So, is there property or houses available in the BoLA that are ocean front with electricity? I understand the town now has electricity but
I'm not sure how far out it's available, or if there are any projects out of town that they're extending the electricity to.

South of town to red hill. That would be the Diaz leased property. However, the very, very southern-most house does not. Probably a story there if
anyone wants to tell it.......
South of red hill nada and believe me, I'm not holding my breath. I have no idea how far north the power goes - I assume at least to the military
outpost?? Someone else may chime in who knows.

The power lines run 5 or so miles north of town to the military base, but the landowner has to come up with $$ to run lines the 1/4 mile from the road
to the beach so not much makes it makes it there.

The power runs a few miles north of the military base now and just off the top of my head I can think of 2 places that are for sale. Just take a trip
down there and look around. You might find your dream home, or not.

Last time I was there we stayed at the Hotel Costa del Sol which had a new addition, where we stayed. Unbeknownst to us the electric was only
connected the old part because the owner didn't have the money ($5k USD according to him) for a transformer and wiring to make the connection to the
new part. So the generator provided power to our room but was turned off at 9:00? Pm at night and turned on again until 8:00 AM in the morning = no
coffee before going fishing.

Electricity
The town has had Full time Electricity for around 5 years now I am surprised that CFE is still running that Generator.

Larry, the two places for sale, are they on the grid and worth the trip down there to see? Is there any way to get information on any of the
houses? I just got back from a trip to Loreto and all places up the coast to Punta Chivato.
Thanks to all for your responses.

Here is one that is a good deal. I know the owner and he is a good guy.

The other place I was thinking about is at camp archelon and electricity is not hooked up to the house but is available in the area I think. Contact
Antonio Resendiz, resendizshidalgo@yahoo.com and ask about the house that Terry Little is selling.
good luck

We seriously considered BOLA before finally settling here outside San Quintin. Off-grid didn't scare us as I was more than willing to build our own
system which we ended up doing here.
Love everything about the area except the summers. I'm a big wuss when it comes to heat above 90 and we wanted a place to live year round. If you like
the heat as many do, I think it is ideal...

No, not a huge fan of Baja's 90+ degree summer heat. That's why I'm a bit particular about being on the grid. Off-grid doesn't scare me, I have a
hunting cabin in Ohio that's completely off-grid, but one's enough.
I haven't spent much time down in the San Quintin area, maybe I'll get down there one these days. I keep hearing more and more about that area. The
evening calm down in the BoLA along with the view of all the islands are some the best memories/feelings I have after spending a day in the water
spearfishing them.
So meth-heads down there now too? We have problems with "cookers" down in the southern hills of Ohio. We gate and lock the roads and put trail
cameras out that text/email pictures back to our phones within 45 seconds. That's helped put a kink in their game.

Wiles, the house "our friends" in the first link is what we're looking for. Some great photos. Thanks for the links.

Is Antonio sub-dividing his camp land? Because if he is not, then it wouldn't be really "buying a property".

He is selling the land that Terri's house is on, I'm not sure about any other.

That is right, he is selling the land Terry's house is on. The house is not in the camp area. I don't know if any other land is for sale, you'd have
to as Tony. The last time I talked to Tony he didn't mention anything about selling anything else
