Road Report: 
We left LB on April 20 heading north. The road construction out of La Paz was 2.5 miles long and not too bad. Some mechanical problems in Insergentes but solved well by the local mechanics.

We ended up in south San Quintin on the night of the 23rd and headed out early on the 24th (Friday) toward Tecate. Major problem - organized - police supported - marches in the highway. First - south of San Quintin protesters along the road - no police - second group blocked the highway for us! We smiled, waved, peace signs, and nudged them out of the way with our doors locked. A little scary. They were hand slapping our hood, windshield, doors, door sides, trailer sides, and we smiled and just moved slowly on. Next was San Quintin with full supported police, a march that took the entire highway! Probably 2000 + marchers. All traffic north and south was diverted on a side detour. More like a one lane two way traffic dirt road. I had a 4wd truck with a small 8 foot open cargo trailer. I just made it. If I was towing an RV or driving a big rig I could not have made the way. And I would not have known this until I was in the line. Finally got through.

Next was entering Ensenada. There was another police supported march. This one blocked two lanes of a four lane road. Not so bad but it did slow us down.

Next was the road construction in Ensenada on the tourist marina route. Major construction making us merge into two lanes from four. Again - slow.

All in all we spent an extra 1.5 hours to get to Tecate. My thoughts? Does anyone know how to determine when the government approved marches will occur? My thoughts are: Don’t drove on Friday mornings during local rush hour. Next of course - doorslocked and just smile and keep moving.

I support the workers and get it but…

THEFT
- Include date, general location, time, method of entry, etc.  Name of victim not necessary.

a.  Sorry to report another LaRibera, DAYLIGHT, Burglary: Sunday, yesterday morning, between 6 am and 12 a friend was staying at my alarmed house in LR. He went fishing and failed to set the alarms, I have 2 installed! They got 600US $, a Garmin GPS and Garmin 76 vhs hand held a small left hand Avet reel....Report anyone trying to sell these...please!
They left my tv this time ....I pretty much strip my house when not there. All they get when they break in is a screaming alarm. ..pretty sad situation.....I guess if there is no consequences for the perpetrators why not keep on ripping off the gringos ....good luck selling the high priced lots in Cabo Riviera in this environment. freshcathmeister@gmail.com 

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

a.  Spam Phone Call:  Just received one of those bogus calls from someone saying he was a friend in Los Cabos. I asked him what his name was and he said, what you don't remember your friends in Cabo. I said if you do not tell me who you are I am going to hang up and don't call me again and I hung up. Unfortunately missed getting his # but he spoke English well but not from Boston. (unsigned)

b.  ATM Problems:  Well it has happened again. now the 5th time that Bancomer ATM takes your card does not give you pesos and your account is debeted by your bank. I went home printed off my statement from my bank and returned to Bancomer. They were not careing at all. they said maybe a 90% chance that the money would be credited back from Monterray in am. NOT!! When i returned and told them they said to make claim with my bank. I am fortunate to have whom i do and I called them and they looked at it and replaced the money But they also said they will charge Bancomer an additional $50usd for the problems. Maybe if all of us who have this happen tell there banks to charge a penalty we will get this machine worked on. They had my reference number and showed no pesos were dispensed and check the camera to see nothing came out. Very frustrateing but with only one bank in town we are at their mercy. Use caution. if you open a peso account you get a much better exchange rate.  (unsigned)
