Baja Western Onion - News For The Left Coast of Baja California Sur

Our Two-year Anniversary. - This past week marks the two-year anniversary of the Baja Western Onion.

As many of our long-term readers know, the Onion was born out of the arrival of Hurricane John, September 1st, 2006. While Debra and I were hunkered down in our house that day, nervously awaiting the first hurricane we had ever experienced, we were monitoring the RADAR station at Cabo San Lucas via Internet. For a couple of green California kids, it was a very scary sight indeed when Hurricane John first appeared on the RADAR.

As we watched the storm track North, by late afternoon it began to look like John was headed more toward the East than predicted. We started to take snapshots of the RADAR track every 15 minutes, then stitched together a short video to get a better idea of the hurricane's true course. We could see that John was definitely on a track away from Todos Santos and toward the East Cape. Good news for us but bad news for our friends and neighbors along the Sea of Cortez as we all now know.

You can see the entire video here:

http://www.bajawesternonion.com/hurricane-john.asp
We thought there must be many others like ourselves who had no idea what was going to happen that day, and we wanted to get the word out about what we were seeing. We had about 100 E mail addresses of family, friends and clients. So out went our first storm alert on the evening of September 1 at about 7:30 PM. We continued to update the video throughout the day until about 10:30 PM when we became too exhausted to continue.

While passing along updates on Hurricane John and the storm damage that occurred during the following week, we got a lot of positive feedback from many readers wanting to know more about what was happening here. It reminded us that we on "The Left Coast" of Baja might benefit from a quick and easy way to communicate happenings in our area. From that notion, the Baja Western Onion was born. Originally named the Baja Western Union, we changed the name a few months later to the Baja Western Onion. For those of you who might have missed some of these early issues from that first week, we've placed them on the Onion web site:

U.S. Girls' Club Soccer Team Looking For Games In BCS - Next June we would like to arrange for our So Cal girls' club soccer team to come to Los Cabos and play local girls' teams of the same age. We would be looking for teams from La Paz on south. The age group would be 12 years old. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate the help. We would be looking for teams to play and fields to play on, etc. Thanks! - Briant Patterson, magiccoast[-at-]cox.net, 949 218 6788, Baja California Sur

Todos Santos Stoplight Alert - It seems the light is out - at least the red bulb is out for sure, coming into town from Cabo on Degollado. If you approach the light on Militar planning to make a left turn, don't assume anyone approaching from the left will stop just because you have a green light. Very dangerous!!! - Maryann

Comments, Questions and Answers

Yearly Fideicomiso Payments At Bancomer - In a recent issue of the BWO, someone said: "Serfin-Santander, Banamex, Bancomer and now HSBC have all left La Paz with their Fiduciary offices and made it quite difficult to keep current with the yearly Fideicomiso payments." I don't know about the other banks, but this is NOT the case with Bancomer. In fact, they have many options available (online, in person, wire transfers, etc) to make these payments. - Sheryl Hamilton, hamiltos12[-at-]yahoo.com, 612-149-6084, La Paz

Searching Horses - I would like to know if someone has horses (or knows someone who has) to ride on the beach of La Poza or anywhere else for two people for a couple of hours at a very economic rate for Saturday 13 or Sunday 14 Sept. Please let me know. - Elizabeth Salazar, elizabethsalazar11[-at-]gmail.com, 6121413169, Todos Santos

Alaska Airlines (Courtesy, Baja Pony Express) - Alaska Airfares and airfares in general: I have discovered that I am more successful when I shop for one way fares. I flew on Alaska Airlines to and from LAX in August and and bought my tickets on line and used the 'low fare calendar' and I bought them less than a week in advance. It cost me $195 to fly North and $165 to return South.

Many people flying to Cabo or East Cape are coming here for a long Weekend flying down Thursday or Friday and returning the following Monday or Tuesday. So, I can usually find low fares to the North on Thursday and retuning South on Monday or Tuesday. And I find it simpler to shop for two one way fares than for a round trip. I hope this is helpful. - Torrance Eddy

Gas Stations And The Baja (Courtesy, Baja Pony Express) - a. If you have to get gas in Santa Rosalia, I rode my motorcycle down the Baja and on a motorcycle you stop for gas every open place. Knowing about the problems at SR, I took the pump handle from the operator to pump for myself which you can do on a motorcycle. Here is what happened.

When I clicked the pump handle about a tablespoon came out yet the pump read 3 liters. I immediately stopped and told attendant a problem. He tried to say no problem yet for a tablespoon I was being charged for 3 liters. I became agitated to try to get it resolved and they would not do anything. So I loudly asked for the police., this taking about 3 minutes of outrage by me.

Finally they conceded and I watched as the attendant reset the pump. He did not press the green area for reset/start, he pressed a unmarked black area on the pump (I could tell this is the normal place non-cheat(for locals) as it was visibly dirty from multiple presses.) So they have two buttons they can press, one is gringo rip off(symbolically green for green go home), and the other is for locals.

Thus do not let them reset the pump as they are able to rip you off on what ever amount of liters it initially cheats. This is not determined, I stopped right away, would it have been 6 liters, 8 liters??? So do not stop there or try to pump for yourself and do the outrage thing like I did when the meter shows 3 liters or more for a tablespoon. If everyone does this they will get tired of it and know we know how they are doing it. Again the only reason I was able to note this is because I was on a motorcycle. Then as an engineer who is familiar with microcontrollers and membrane switch design, I observed the system.

b. Over the last few years we have been hearing the same nightmare stories about the Santa Rosalia Gas Station and I'm sure they are true. But they have never happened to me because I never, ever ask to have my tank filled. I know how much gas my car uses and I know how to read my gas guage (all gas guages lie to one degree or another). So, I always ask for $100, $200, $300, or occasionally as much as $400 pesos worth of gas. This may not stop the Pemex Bandidos 'in their tracks' for everyone but it works for me. And, of course, I get out of my car and walk to the pump before I say one word and watch the whole time. Torrance Eddy

c. It was not too many years ago that AAA put this Pemex station on the do not stop list! They are notorious! One can get fuel in Vizcaino and that will take you to Mulege, which has been pretty straight for yrs. The one to watch is the switcheroo! You give attendant a 500 peso note and he quickly shows you a 50 peso note-you made a mistake!! I got burned once like that in San Jose Del Cabo [-at-] old station; then they tried it again [-at-] new station no of town- didn't happen! I raised holy hell and they immediately backed off. Just don't be in a hurry. Mordida is a way of life here. Good Luck.

Also, has anyone found ULSD Fuel in Baja?? -



d. I shared an experience of being cheated in Santa Rosalia with a friend who had cautioned me about being alert when visiting the Pemex station. " To get an education you normally have to pay tuition--you just got educated." As I prepared to pull away during my first and only experience buying gas, I told the guy in Spanish, who was wearing a prominent crucifix on the outside of his shirt, that God was watching him and saw everything and that he was a thief." He seemed surprised.

Especially on my trip back north when I stopped and found him lounging at the station and shared with all of them that I looked forward to spreading the word to friends about their particular customs. However, the village of Santa Rosalia is one of my favorite places on the peninsula to visit with a unique and different atmosphere than other places in Mexico.

e. GAS STATION RIP OFFS....go to www.pemex.com Up in the right hand corner you can click on English. Look to the right of the page about a third of the way down and you will see a "Contact Us" prompt. You can then make a complaint in regards to your negative experiences. Many of us in Los Barriles have made complaints in regards to not having gas on a regular basis, and now we are getting a new station up by the Secondary school on the highway. Get involved....make a complaint, and be a part of the process that will rectify this situation.

Pets on Alaska Airlines (Courtesy, Baja Pony Express) - We have brought our cat in/out of Mexico for the last 5 years. We always obtained a Certificate of Health for her ($45) from our vet before traveling and if we stayed several months, we also obtained one on for the return to the US ($35). We were told yesterday by Alaska airlines reservations that a health certificate is no longer required but they do suggest that we have one. Can anyone tell us where to find current information on this? I don't want to get caught without one if it is indeed still required but I sure would like to avoid the hassle and cost of getting them if they are no longer required. Thank you for your anticipated input! - Chris and Debbie Llewellyn

Really Mexican Food - "Ataxcon" comida mexicana tradicional. "There’s no menu, just Landi’s handful of dishes for the day. That ensures that verything is fresh and of good quality. Makes sense, and fits right in with Todos Santos’ roll-with-thepunches downtown pace. But trust me, it doesn’t matter what’s on the verbal menu— it’s all good, it’s all cheap, and it’s all leaps and bounds beyond the mainland fare dished out at so many touristy Mexican joints in Los Cabos. It’s a little like eating at a friend’s house or your Mexican family".
