21. Unless they just put the little marker in a general location, looks like the Golfo Dulce. |
|
I'm looking at Dos Brazos for retirement.

27. Not yet...probably starting to look seriously in a couple of years. |
|
I'm looking for something very remote, and the area around Dos Brazos seems to fit the bill. I'll probably spend the next 7 years scouting, retire, and then rent for a year to be sure before I buy unless something perfect comes along in the meanwhile.
...but I'll definitely give you a heads-up when I get down that way again.
