Sorry, but once again it is out of print. Worst thing about the Baja Almanac is that they do a print run and then nothing for several years. Amazon has one for $450

Man, I had 2 and gave one to an older couple traveling Baja without one last trip. If I still had 2 i'd lend it to you. Heck they were available in San Felipe at a few places.

DaFoole · 12-25-2012, 06:34 AM

No worries... I scored an older one that'll do fine

You are going through Coco's right?

We lost our camera coming home, which had our only pic of our signatures from when I proposed to Mala Bunny. If anyone could get a good pic I'd really appreciate it, I was planning on having it framed. February 13th was the date.

It's on the list. If don't get the pic you need before we leave (around March 5th) let me know and I'll try to bag it for you.

Bouncing this as it's getting closer....

Have gotten lots of great info from inmates/RR's.

Have been placing lots of notes in the Baja Almanac...

Thanks to all.

Keep it comin!

Why would the publisher not simply print more Baja Almanac's since they are so coveted? Everybody wants one, nobody can buy one. Seems like a flawed business plan to not print when it seems that you could charge more and sell every last one of them because even current owners would want the latest edition. Strange.

Baja time, my man....Baja time...

DaFoole

this tread is soo cool, I have read it all in 1 gulp. There is very little I can add (even do I live in Ensenada)

Please keep an eye on the weather, last week (or 2) we had a snow in the Compadre trail and it was close. By March it is still winter and our time for rain, so when time come you will have to read the weather to see what it is open and check on it.

If you decide on taking the road, from El Rosario to Guerrero Negro, this section has no official Pemex station so that is over 200 miles so take notice.

Somewhere here I read that the gas stop in Puertesitos because they did not pay. Pemex stations can be own by the government or by private parties, how ever they operate under a franchise style contract were the only provider/supplier is the Government. I think this is what happened.

I will continue to check here for more things!
