Pictures From The Todos Santos Huerta Fire -Shortly after noon last Thursday, Feb. 28, a large fire broke out in the Las Quintas ~ Los Flores area northeast of Todos Santos. Thank you to George Ruenitz, Mary Moad, Roberto Juarez and Cheryl Myers for sharing their photos. You can see them here: www.bajawesternonion.com/Todos_Santos_Huerta_Fire_February_28_2013.asp
============================================

     DONATIONS needed ! The Palapa south of the Elementary school in Los Barriles is a peaceful place where all nationalites during the day and Mexicans in the  evenings enjoy exercise and Zumba classes. In the Palapa are also exercise classes in the Summer for local children, but the wooden floor is falling apart and jumping on it is becoming dangerous.
Please help us to collect the needed money of 6,000 Pesos to renew the floor. 
     There will be a Donation box at CARMEN'S CAFE in the ExotiKite shop.  Stop by, drink a Frappe and help us with your donations. Thank you very much, Carmen
If you have any questions: carmen_oasis@hotmail.com, Cell phone 624 129 83 83 or see Carmen at the C&G Builder Office opposite Smokey's.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  CELL PHONE PLAN QUESTION-Answers summary.  It appears AT&T is the only game in town as far as smartphones go.  You can add their Viva Mexico plan for a small fee to get reduced rates.  For longer calls out of Mexico, Skype is the cheapest.  Some people also use prepaid phones thru Telcel or Tracfone while they’re in LB and you can purchase minutes at Chapito’s.  I also heard that many people use Magic Jack or Vonage that allows them to call the states but have no other details.  Thanks everyone

b.  I thought the readers might like to know that the Best Western at the airport is great!  Very good service, clean rooms, very comfortable beds and a lovely outside pool and brand new gym.  Couldn’t fault it.  You also get a free ride to the terminal with the hotel driver.  Excellent option if you have a very early flight like I did.  Only downside is that it’s pricey compared to what we’re used to in Mexico, but if you shop around on the hotel websites, you can get a better deal. 

c.   Answer re:  Cut off road north of Bahia de LA:
          The road you're enquiring about leaves Highway 1 at Laguna Chapala (50 KM's north of the turnoff to Bay of LA)  You'll see the sign to San Felipe.
          There are 60 KM's of rough and rocky road to navigate, ending 4 KM's north of Gonzaga Bay where the pavement starts.  We just did it a few weeks ago and took, us 4 hours in a one ton, single axle truck (averaged 10 mph or 15 kmph)  Take your time and save the vehicle.  Fuel up at Jesus Maria, next guaranteed fuel at San Felipe (365 KM's later)  Sometimes the Pemex is open at Gonzaga Bay, but don't take the chance.  Carry fuel if you're not sure of your vehicles range.  Also make sure your spare tire is in good condition and full of air and you know how to change a tire (surprising how many people don't know how to).
The good news I heard is that the funding is in place to complete the paving to highway 1, completion date sometime in 2015.  Hope this helps out..   Cheers,  Chuck
