Ellen from Rancho Esmeralda has written with an update of the takeover attempt by their neighbors. Things are getting worse:
On Friday we made yet another attempt to meet with the members of the community who are blocking our road access and threatening to take our ranch away from us. They refused to set up any meeting with us. They told us there is nothing to negotiate. They declared that they are already the new owners of our ranch. They said they are just waiting for us to give up and leave and told us that they are looking for ways to shut us down completely, including guests walking in on the trail from the ruins. They advised our employees to begin looking for other work. They objected to our stationing a staff member at the road entrance with a cell phone to meet incoming guests and direct them through the ruins. If we continue to post someone there they told us they would take the cell phone from him. I'm enclosing the meeting summary, in Spanish, which our staff wrote and which we sent to the Governor's office and the state Gobernacion and Turismo Secretariats. We have directly asked for their immediate intervention as the situation is becoming more difficult and any hope of dialog appears futile. We're hoping this week will see some progress.
