My life is more important than cheep food. Lolyou got the option of staying “baller out of control” status or loco locals.. I grew up Baja.. I like a little of each. Lol
I wish the video platform was better on rdp. If you could see where I’m at right now and the giant ass Argentinean steak I just ate you’d charge your tune on the quick. Lol
When I get home I’m gonna upload some YouTube videos, this place is incredible.

Mexico Title searches and title deeds were handled through Notary publics last I heard.
Extremely important.
Is it still that way?
All joking aside...
I see very few people other than you guys in these pics. Is the place Really that deserted??
Mexico can be such an amazing place. Cabo was long before the Marina, when the Trailer Park was the best restaurant in town, when the river flowed across the road during big late summer storms, the locals would gather and watch the idiots get stuck in that river, laugh at them then run out and do everything they possibly could to help them, long before the mega resorts were ever built. So good to hear Dave and Stacy got to have that kind of experience. When Mexico is good, it is off the hook good. But, when it goes bad . . . . .
Did the Trailer Park lobster but not the cock fights. Amazing and unforgettable times for sure.The Trailer Park brings back memories of the largest lobsters I've ever seen on a plate That and going to the cock fights.
Is there any urgent care or hospital close
Back In The Day the local Mexican Pharmacists had some amazing meds. Like one pill and you're done. Don't know what meds they were using, but they sure as hell worked. Major medical problems, good luck, if needed Air Ambulance back to the US. May be still like that. Honestly, I don't know.Is there any urgent care or hospital close
Is there places to rent down there?
While Ixtapa is safe for you to visit, it is unfortunately located in the state of Guerrero, which is highly dangerous at this moment in time.Aug 12, 2019
Ah the Trailer Park.... so good, found it in '85. EpicMexico can be such an amazing place.

Thattaboy... setting folks asses straight. Glad you guys enjoyed and found your new spot. Speaking of asses, I'm guessing they had their water filtration all dialed in as you never mentioned any intestinal issues from anyone with all that yummy chow going down.That is like saying Carlsbad is safe to visit but it’s in the state of California which is dangeroua. (Oakland / Los Angelas)
Brings back memories also. I used to get flown down there to work on boats in the 80's. If I remember correctly the only "la ti da" hotel was I think called Sol Mar and it was fairly new. I was down there several times to work on customers boats that had screwed up and they didn't want to drag them back to the States. Cabo, Buena Vista, Los Frailles, La Paz, Loretto. Did a lot of work but fished a lot also.The Trailer Park brings back memories of the largest lobsters I've ever seen on a plate That and going to the cock fights.
Damnet Dave all these pictures brought back memories of fishing trips to Los Barriles and eating at Herman’s and his “ Chili Bobos” so tried to recreate them on the smoker today. Turned out good but not as good as the authentic ones in Mexico.Salsa night at “La Mexicana” which is a small restaurant owned by a lady that started it eight years ago when she was 22 and built it into a primo spot..
As you can guess I ordered the lobster.. lol. Ray and Nikki own a nice three bedroom on the beach they rent out.

Jesus thats some rig ya got there.... yep, Sol Mar was THE place back in 80s-.... I found it on my first visit down in '85.... gal and I rented sea doos from the Office area and they told us not to go past Lovers Arch around tip cause the Hells Angels had recently visited and crashed several skis into the rocks.... well we hauled ass over around the corner to see what was over there of course.... thats when I first saw Sol Mar and never stayed anywhere else for 20 years or so till they took it down and built all the fancy hotels on that strip of beautiful beach. I had drinks with the Mexican hotelier who owned all that property back around that time and he shared his vision of development and sure as shit he did everything he planned. Cabo lost its Love for me a few years back.... just an extension of SoCal now. I miss the $185/ night Sol Mar days...Brings back memories also.

Here's a pic of me on a launcher in Cabo!! View attachment 949225
In the 80s I was VP of Innovator Boats. Hotel Palmilla purchased 5 of our sportfishers. They would fly me down for the initial launchings. Good times, great fishing, nice people and a beautiful hotel. Palmilla is actually closer to San Jose than Cabo. You’d drive right by it on the way to Cabo from the airport and never even see it.Brings back memories also. I used to get flown down there to work on boats in the 80's.

Can we see another shot of Nikki's plate?
When Palmilla went up Cabo became an international attraction.... Big $ resort and first class. Great celebrity watching in the bar.In the 80s I was VP of Innovator Boats.

Never stayed there. I was just a boat mechanic and stayed basically in people's campers or a 3 sided tent that I shared with the local 4 legged cows. I did take the wife down a couple times on non-working trips and we stayed on the East Cape, Buena Vista and I don't remember the name of the one just South of it. Damn we caught a lot of fish back in those days. One time out, the wife said she had had enough. We got into a school of Dorado as far as the eye could see. Those things beat us up that day.Jesus thats some rig ya got there.... yep, Sol Mar was THE place back in 80s-....

Your Oregon buddy is correct. I just visit some Mexican families I've befriended over the years now when I go. They can still give me the Mexican experience I long for.... these days one has to go much deeper down like RDP has found recently. That gives us the old Mx cultural experience we crave.Never stayed there.

Have not been down there in decades and a client in Oregon said if I want to remember it the way it was back then, DON'T go back. We paid more for the ice than the beer back then. I seem to remember 14 cents for a beer at the beer stores across the Hwy from the airport. The airport was an open air thatched roof deal back then, have no idea now.

100% yes! There arehouses that range from mild to wild right on the ocean. There is also bungalows at hotels that go as cheap as 40-50 bucks a night on the sand.
The villa we stayed at typically rents for 15k a week. Our friends Ray and Nikki rent there three bedroom for around 6k a week.
The units at the development we went to check out are expected to rent 3-5k a week.. There are tons of places to rent but it’s like Parker they tend to fill up fast during the on season.
No words...
