Yes I saw all Westy´s pics - it looks pretty desolate.

This is where my daughter bought land to build, just outside La Paz, all the greenery will be imported.


La Paz, Mexico
Baja Sur

The land is on the mountain overlooking that hotel about midway up the left hand side.

I hope she has better luck than the first settlers:

"La Paz was founded by Hernan Cortez on May 3, 1535 but the hostility of the environment forced him to retreat a year later. Other efforts to colonize the area brought Sabastian Vizcaino in 1596, Isidro de Atondo and Antillon in 1863, the Jesuits Juan de Ugarte and Jaime Bravo in 1720 and finally in 1811, Jose Espinoza who established the first permanent settlement that turned La Paz into the capital of Baja California Sur in 1830."

What a history sure took time to tame!:)

Westy like those forlorn places!

To me its alright for a spell but if I am going to be isolate I would rather be in the mountain by a stream and cabin!
