SOUTH DAKOTA CAR REGISTRATION: I just re-titled my boat and trailer in SD and it was a piece of cake. You will need to know in which South Dakota County you wish to register your vehicle; I randomly chose Perkins County. The people I spoke with in the Treasurers office were very accommodating and helpful.
        Perkins County South Dakota Treasurer
        P.O. Box 126
        Bison, SD 57620
        Phone: (605) 244-5624
     You will need to complete the two forms linked below. Mail the completed forms to the County Treasurer's office where they will process the registration and calculate the fees. You may include a blank check with your application and they will contact you with the amount of the check or they will call you with the amount and will wait for you to send the check.

ROAD REPORT - TECATE to LOS BARRILES

     Instead of going thru L.A., I took Hwy. 58 out of Buttonwillow, and went thru Bakersfield to Hwy. 395. Then 395 to I-15 to I-215 to I-15, and on to Tecate. Some construction at the first 15/215 jct., but the rest was smooth going; beat the hell outta going thru L.A.
     At Tecate I got the green lite, but pulled in to the inspection area to go to Immigration. They wouldn't let me park there--said I had to go park on the street somewhere (yeah right!)--then walk back. But as long as I was there, they decided to inspect my cargo. I gave them my list and receipts, they took a cursory look, and I was outta there. (NOTE: At the Ag. checkpoint at G. Negro, Immigration checked my immigration papers (FM3 booklet). He didn't ask for that new FMM form, but went thru the FM3 page by page, and didn't mention anything about it not being stamped at the border.)
     I took the Hwy 2D route out of Tecate, as written up in the Pony a while back--it was a little different than as described; here's a quick write up based on my odometer.
     After crossing the border at Tecate, continue south on Calle Cardenas until you come to the park at Ave. Juarez. Turn left one block to Calle Ortiz Rubio (Hwy 3), then turn right. Follow Hwy 3 up the hill to the Hwy 2D cuota turn-off (about 2 miles from the border). Take the on-ramp and get on Hwy 2D towards TJ.
     Stay on 2D until you get to the first toll booth, about 16 miles ($85 pesos). 2D splits here; get in the left lanes (signs say Matamoras) as you leave the toll booth. You'll then see the sign with the big horn sheep statue; turn left towards Matamoras. Stay on this road until until it ends (about 26 miles); you will see the Hwy 1D overpass and the sea. (NOTE: There are quite a few pot holes in the right lane; some are big. It is a concrete road, so pay heed; large concrete chuck holes can do severe damage to your front end.) Go under Hwy 1D, and turn left (south) at Hwy 1 at the signs towards Ensenada. Head south on Hwy 1; the Hwy 1D cuota on-ramp is about 8 miles away.
     After passing the "Welcome to Pto. Nuevo" sign (about 5-1/2 miles), start watching for stop signs. (Note: Before getting to the 1D south on-ramp, there's another easy-to-see on or off-ramp for 1D; DON'T TAKE IT. I saw several cars try as I went by, and they wound up backing out; not good.) At the 3rd stop sign, there's a short, left turn lane; get in it. Look left, and you'll see the TJ/Ensenada on-ramp sign. Take the Ensenada (south) ramp, and go. Toll booth is about 29 miles down the road ($30). There's a new (for me) military check point here, north bound just north of the toll booth.
     About 6 miles from the stop sign in the center of Maneadero, road construction starts and goes for 5 miles. The inspection road at the next check point was worse than the construction dirt road.
     Stayed at the Baja Cactus at El Rosario. trucks coming down the hill on their jake brakes kept me awake most of the nite; first time there for that--it's usually reasonably quiet. Something was going on at the previous check point at the top of the hill. Military was going thru everything, and was even unloading semis. The guy in front of me had weapons, and I had to wait about half an hour while they checked him out.
     A few miles of construction past Rosarito, then lots of new road; construction road was graded smooth.
     Bridge construction between San Ignacio and Sta. Rosalia, but no delays or problems.
     Stayed at Serinadad in Mulege. Bed was comfortable and room was clean, but no TV or furniture except for a single chair; one pint of bottled water (for 2 people?), but no cups. All for $780/nite; it was my first and last time at this place.
     Most of the road thru the Baja Grand Canyon south of Loreto was new.
     Cops at Cd. Constitucion were at the north end of town, pulling over anybody with gringo plates. Wanted to write me up for no seat belt, because it didn't have a shoulder harness. But I showed them that was all my car had. No ticket, but they kept me there for about 10 minutes.
     One police check point and one road block--a couple of miles apart--on the south road outta La Paz. Check point ignored me; road block went thru my rig.
Final leg to Los Barriles was uneventful. Ken
