There will be an Off-Road Race, Saturday, December 03, 2011 passing through the East Cape from La Ribera, Hotel Punta Colorado, Light House Point Estates, Cabo Pulmo, Castillo de Arena, Vinorama, Palo Escopeta and on through Santa Anita. I have attached a map of the route which starts in Cabo San Lucas, travels north to La Paz and returns via the East Cape road to Cabo San Lucas. The route is 750 kilometers (450 miles) long and the first motorcycle starts at 7:00 AM and trucks start at 8:00 AM. The first motorcycle should arrive in La Ribera between 1:00 and 2:00 PM and then on the East Cape Road racing south. The Cabo Pulmo check point closes at 1:00 AM, December 04 and that should end the race on the East Cape.

Bandidos Still Available - My short story collection "Bandidos" got a generous write-up by Camilla Ford in the latest Gringo Gazette. It's a thoughtful and well-written review, though uncertain about where to find the book, published in 2004. In Todos Santos, the Hotel California Emporio still has a few copies; in San Jose and on-line, Baja Books And Maps, www.bajabooksandmaps.com . - Michael Mercer, barkingdogbooks@yahoo.com , www.michaelmercer.com/index-old.htm
====================================

Just wanted to let you all know that I am down to the last 3 kilos of Maravilla dark roasted Oaxacan Organic Coffee beans, lets see who gets them. I am in contact with my supplier who assures me that they have completed the harvest of the new crop, and I hope to have a fresh batch within a few weeks. I will post when it comes in to Galeria Los Angeles. Thanks for a great beginning to this new season, Sara

f.  Coming back to Baja and your Internet does not work?
Most internet customers take their DSL router to a Telmex office where they change your equipment for a new model of DSL, telling you that it has a better performance, ect, then you still having trouble connecting to www with wireless, because they gave you a Router with ‘factory settings’, without setup a correct Wi-Fi channel.
Advice:
*You can avoid this trouble just changing the power cord to the OLD one, ask your property manager, they may have spare power cords that you can use (used or new from another box).
*If you already changed the router for anew one, you need to open your internet browser to type 192.168.1.254, this will show a window asking for the USER and password, the user is TELMEX with capitols and the password is your own WEP-KEY –located on a sticker below your DSLrouter-, then you will be able to see that your wireless settings are in AUTO, please select a FIXED wireless channel (I use the number 6).
If you have questions please email me, computerfixer@telcel.blackberry.net     Juan Saucedo
