ARROYO GRATING:

Thanks to the generous support of over 50 families, we have raised the money needed to scrape and flatten the two arroyos north of LB. The project was a little more than I expected but the job was completed today by the Rendon company. We raised more money than the $600 I stated was needed in my initial BPE posting and the extra money was planned to be used for fill dirt. However, Julio Rendon, who does all the highway road work from La Paz to Cabo, suggested that additional dirt was not a good use of the money and it best be held for additional grating. I appreciated his candor and the work was completed using a water truck and rock removal. We actually collected approx. $1400 which will be used for future projects. We negotiated a repeat grating of the arroyos at a discount rate of $500 which we plan to do when needed (maybe in 6-8 weeks?). I have also asked Mr. Rendon to provide a quote to grate the beach road which I will communicate when received. I originally planned to list all the contributors but, graciously, there are too many to list. I would like to add a special thank you to Rick & Julie Marks, Jan & Woody Story and Jim Harrison for their especially generous support. I would also like to add a special thank you to Rigo Lucero Silva who was involved with me on the entire project as a translator, negotiator and supervisor, all on his own time with no compensation (in addition to his own contribution to the project). In conclusion, I am again thankful and amazed at the spirit and generosity of most people in our community to do what it takes to make our piece of Baja the paradise we love.

JUNGLE CACTUS NURSERY IN SAN JOSE DEL CABO

If you are landscaping or looking for patio plants, I've had great luck with Jungle Cactus Nursery in San Jose Del Cabo!

John Wenzel (from California) is the owner and is a pleasure to deal with.  The truckload of plants I purchased there are all thriving!  He grows many different types of palms (including the Bismarckia), cycads, and other exotics.  John will deliver larger orders to Los Barriles for free.  He also often has some type of discount going on – just ask.  His website lists current availability, prices, and has a map.  

He is located down a dirt road in back of Soriana in San Jose Del Cabo. www.junglecactuscabo.com    e-mail: info@junglecactuscabo.com  John’s Cell: 044(624)122-0324
Check out this nursery the next time you are in SJD!  Ben  pacsungro@earthlink.net
