That's a sick article Gaff, thanks for posting. Tough to envision what it was like there in the private days.
Tasmania surfer's journal had a great article about Tazzy earlier this year that mentioned, among other things, that you can buy a boatload of oceanfront land dirt cheap. only problem is that it's cold, windy and rainy most of the year, but other than that it's a bargain.
Invest in that resort if you have an extra $50k lying around and then vacation there free of charge one month every year! A few of them weren't that expensive, under half a mil, people pay that for generic suburban McMansions all the time. Question for most of us is probably more how you earn a living once you move there. $115K for that brick shack in El Salvador!
http://www.surfersjournal.com/surf_property/southern-baja-retreat-reduced Under $200k and he's willing to entertain offers! Can't we set up a group mortgage and make this place the SI east coaster's winter getaway house? I'm in, we can rent it when we aren't using it!
Cool stuff, Gaff. I still have my Tricky **** tee from back in the day when Jimmy Carter was flailing: "NIXON: he's tanned, rested & ready."
Heck, the Nixon property is worth an easy $4 mil. Think about it: I'm betting that those missing Watergate tapes are hidden somewhere in that joint. Find the tapes, reap the rewards....probably worth way more than the piddly $4 mil asking price of the property.
It can be our very own Volcom house. I'm all for it and will be the Patrick Swayze Roadhouse character and keep the riff raff out the crib. Got no probs trowing down snaps on this place.
