Yea, at first I thought that - but then thinking on it, every other person is afraid to drive into Mexico - then of those remaining a full 75% is all say and no do. So the remaining few willing to venture into an undeveloped location in Baja where there are no resorts or cell communication is not really that many at all...

I think you are correct Kai, It has been there for a long time and people have know about the island and it's fishery for some time now just look at the Baja Catch book. I for one can't wait for my next trip

its only a matter of time before it gets ruined like Gonzaga/Alfonsinas...the paved road will attract many. Progress is already evident with the rental house that was built and rumors of a new La Poma restaurant in the works.

I saw it today.

Did not look like too much of spot burning. Mostly people talking about Baja fishing.

No detail of how to get there, what to use, etc. is my recollection.

No harm done I would say.

I see the progress over my couple of years coming down. Restaurant Menus were all in English the last time I was there and the prices are significantly higher. Almost equal to an LA restaurant.

Ummmm, they shot this in Bahia de Los Angeles...... NOT Gonzaga!

And as stated above, not many people go to Baja these days. And Baja is hurting because of it.

Baja needs our tourism dollars..... so promoting Baja is a good thing.
