A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Workers At Grand Coulee Dam Use Helicopters For Construction

Workers At Grand Coulee Dam Use Helicopters For Construction

GRAND COULEE, Wash. - The Bureau of Reclamations is in the middle of replacing cables with overhead power lines at the Grand Coulee Dam.
To do that, they have to string the new cables from the dam using helicopters.
The helicopters will string 54 conductor lines from the dam to six towers.
The old transmission cables are being replaced because of the risk of fire damage, among other threats.
The Bureau hired Wilson Construction for the project.
According to Chad Devine, the general foreman of this project, they are scheduled to finish the project by December.
