Basic questions from Baja first timers/retirees who are planning on dry camping on the Concepcion beach(es) next winter for a few weeks in our small
(17') but self-contained trailer.
How, where do you buy water for showers/cooking/non-drinking use - at the beech camp or other places?
Drive into Mulege or stop there first to get acquainted. There are a few good and convenient places to get city water, which is pretty good.
Particularily Pancho Anaya's store at the 'Y' and at Manuel Cuestas' tienda across from El Nido in the pueblo. Buy some groceries wherever you fill
and you will be most welcome.
And same question for good drinking water? Any idea of approximate cost for each in dollars or pesos? There are two excellent puriefed
water-making plants in town. One downtown and another under the bridge. So cheap it is almost free...plus Thursdays are half-price downtown. All
stores offer purified water.
For the beaches that don't have a dump station where do you dump gray and black water?I would make arrangements to use one of the RV park
dumps in town. I 'think' there is one at Santispac, but not sure if it is usable. There may be others in the bay by now, not sure. Mayvbe somebody
else can weigh in on that one.
Even though we want to dry camp on the beach and not at the big resort type places, do any of the beech camps have internet access or public phone?
Both sets of parents are getting mighty old and we would like to be contacted in the case of a death in the family. Is there any wireless access
available in Mulege?Wireless is available in Mulege. There are at least 2 Internet cafes now in town, maybe more by now. No problem getting
on there.
Does Verizon work in that area - it doesn't appear to as I look at the Verizon web site?My Verizon phone does not work here...either in town
or in the Bay. But there are many pay-card phones, cell phone buys, etc. Again, no problems telephoning in town.
Thanks for any help you can give us.
This is sure a great looking forum and I think the good nature of the Baja culture is apparent in the posts I have been reading since joining. |
