Lots of construction in the north end of Mazatlan and now….

 

it’s right in our own back yard.  A week ago we heard a large machine out behind us at the back of the park.  We’d always wondered if they would start clearing around the park and now they are.

Opposite corner from us at the back end of the park.

You can see the dozer just behind the fence.  Good thing we didn’t wash the truck!

The bush was right up to the fence and now…

not.  Pretty close eh!

Noisy and dusty.

The word is that they are just clearing at this point and not building yet.  It’s part of Marina Mazatlan property and they are building a huge subdivision just north of us up the street.  Single family dwellings are slated to be put in behind the park.  Maybe it won’t happen for awhile.  We can only hope. 

Is everyone in Mexico moving to the north end of Mazatlan?

Look at that palm tree.  We’ve never seen one like that.

So…if they just clear it, clean up the brush piles and leave the palm trees it won’t look too bad.  It sure isn’t making the chachalacas happy as they liked to fly from one corner at the back of the park and land right behind us and now there isn’t anything to land on. 

Poor chachas!

  1. We kind of liked the "jungle" look around Las Jaibas and sad to hear it is going away. For sure we hope they don't burn the brush where they have piled it. Sad, too, for all the birds as their cover is gone - we loved to feed and watch them.

  2. Both sides are still jungle and they are almost finished smashing down the bush behind us. We have been told they will truck the brush away but that remains to be seen. There is a view out the back and we can see the mountains. Now if they just left the palm trees and didn't do anything else it wouldn't be too bad. What the time frame for future construction is...who knows. It is very quiet around Mazatlan right now so maybe all of this is just "pie in the sky!"

  3. Eric's had his hair cut, well, makes sense in that heat I suppose. I'm sure I saw Eric driving that dozer at the back of your trailer, and cutting down all those trees with his chainsaw.Do you really need all that firewood Eric? I had already posted comments but something happened with my google account and it erased my reply. Oh well. Looks like you both are having a great time enjoy it, Leslie.
