What is BSAR? From the name I can see it's some type of search and rescue service, but what exactly is it, and what is the main purpose.
Thank You,
Juan

We are headed to La Bufadora

BSAR is for contacts/communications throughout the peninsula of which I have over 6oo so far excluding the english speaking ones.
We get mechanics, parts, whatever necessary to get you back on the road in case of breakdown. Anywere.
Also for teaching the people about the environment, keeping it clean, etc.
Also for delivering school supplies and other needed items to the remote regions of Baja.

Thanks Corky
I will change the last part of that. I still don't know what to charge! But, I will start by finishing the contacts, and a few other details, and
then decide whether to post the info. for free on a Baja message board, or some other idea.
Damn, I had to delete the whole story. When I have recuperated from my lenguado and camaron tomorrow, I will write it again.

What's up
When we began exploring the peninsula in detail a few years ago, I began making a lot of friends in most all parts of Baja. And Baja being a small
peninsula, most all of the locals either knew of each other, had met, or were related.
And they pretty much knew about each others current lives. I found this a little odd due to the remoteness of some of the ranchos/villages.
One reason is because of the big fiestas, another is because of the le?eros selling their wood in the cities, they would relay messages, and there
are now phones and radios in most all areas.
Because of my travels, I became somewhat of a messenger between the pueblos. Sharing news, phone numbers, foods, sometimes taking folks from one
rancho to visit another area.
Many of these folks had relatives scattered throughout the peninsula so after flitting around for a while, I decided it would be better to just go
ahead and get contact information wherever it was possible. Including the best mechanics in the main places along the carretera and all other areas. I
used to break down a lot so I got to know mechanics everywhere!
This list is pretty much complete and I am now adding english speaking contacts to as many areas as possible.
How it works. Having contacts throughout the peninsula allows for check-ins prior to going off road, phone communications from most all areas in
Baja, easy access to ordering parts from the states if necessary, and the security of knowing that if you get lost or break down out in the middle of
somewhere, you can either call someone or know that someone will come looking for you.
We have also been making delivery trips to the mountains with school supplies, medicines, etc. and have been working with the locals as far as the
benefits of growing bamboo for an income as well as graffitti and trash removal and environmental issues.
So, if you live in Baja, speak english and know your area, I would like to include you as a contact for your area.
Thanks to everyone who has already replied and it looks as if it will be a pretty complete book of contacts with a great networking system as
well.
