Last week two cars came into the dry river bed not far from the Fuso Szulc at El Triple, Baja California, Mexico.
They remained some time and it could not be seen what the people from those cars were doing there.
After quite some time they left.
Drove the dirt road back out.
Later the dry river bed was inspected to see what these people had been doing there.
On two places a large stone had been put and on its top with spray paint where initials written and a number.
The next day Juaquin was visited in his Terry trailer parked where a resort of 100 houses is supposed to be build.
Not far from where the Fuso Szulc has its location.
Juaquin knew about those guys in their two cars who had been roaming in the dry river bed.
According to him they were prospectors.
Looking for specific spots where they were going to drill for water.
And this will happen in the near future.
The American developer of the resort at El Triple needs water.
This he promises the buyers of one of the 100 lots available.
The land comes with electricity and water.
But the fact is that El Triple has on one side the endless ocean and on the other side the endless desert.
There is no water.
Two cattle farms that used to be here were abandoned because of lack of rainfall and well-water.
But people who buy a holiday house in a resort that comes with a swimming pool and a 30 hole golf course need water.
A lot of water.
It is calculated that when in the 100 holiday houses of El Triple during the holiday season about 200 people are lodged and 50 of them play a round of golf, the resort of El Triple will need about 200.000 gallons (757.000 liters) of water every day.
Therefore, the American developer is now going to look for water.
Drilling holes to see how much comes up.
Right next to the Fuso Szulc.
For the moment there are just these two markers in the dry river bed.
But any moment big machines can appear to start drilling.
This makes it even more of a challenge to be at El Triple.
The exercise not to live in an imagination.
Because the imagination shows big trucks, lots of workers, big noise and serious pollution.
The reality is that right now nothing is the matter.
El Triple is still El Triple.

Sounds like another failed development. I wonder how many Gringos will lose their deposit on this one. No water and electric means no life support. I bet in two years, there will be just a few shells of houses left. Look at the Loretto development.
