I am back!!!
Hello my friends...
First of all an apology for being absent and off the grid for so long... but I had to take care of some very complicated administrative requirements
by Pemex at the BajaCactus Gas Station, that forced me to dedicate most of my time to solve it. This was supposed to be resolved within 2 months and
it finally took me almost 8 months to finished.
But it seems we are done... I hope... jejeje.
A couple of news at BajaCactus:
1.- We now have a US phone number which rings at BajaCactus: (619) 694-1082... please take into account that English spoken personal is very, very
difficult to come by in El Rosario and, at the moment, we only have a bilingual employee from 4:00pm to 12:00pm (PST), most of the week.
2.- There is now a WiFi HotSpot active at BajaCactus, with more than 6Mb download speed... "FREE" for everyone staying at BajaCactus Motel (just ask
for your access code at the frondesk). I would also like to grant free access to every BajaNomad passing through, as long as they identify as a
BajaNomad member at the frontdesk... now, how will you identify yourself?...I do not know, ask Doug.... jejeje. A small note on this WiFi service: the
wifi signal is unlocked, you can connect without any password nor username, but you will not be able to browse the Internet without one, except for a
few pre-configured sites, like the BajaNomad site.
3.- I have been working on the BajaCactus website also, it should be ready within 3-4 weeks (well, at least a part of it). I will be happy to exchange
links with anyone, so please let me know at info*at*bajacactus.com if you are interested.
4.- We are now taking American Express cards at both the Gas Station and the Motel... Visa, Mastercard and others are coming very soon again (we used
to received Visa/Mastercard last year but we had to suspend them temporarily).
5.- We are about to start the construction of the BajaCactus Store in 3-4 weeks... including some re-thinking and re-designing, result of some very
good comments and advice from some of you... THANK YOU!!!
6.- And finally... at last the approval for the new Gas Station restrooms arrived from Pemex... now the problem is that I do not have the sufficient
economical resources to construct the restrooms and Store at the same time... so I will make a small renewal of the interiors of the actual restrooms
soon, until I am able to construct the new ones.
I hope everything has been fine here and I will try to be a little bit more active on cyberspace from here on.
An apology to anyone who tried to contact me in the past and I was unavailable, but it was imperative for us to comply with the new Pemex regulations
and I was the only one in our business who had the expertise to pull them off... very, very time consuming.
A big hug to all of you,
Antonio Munoz

Welcome back BajaCactus. This last April (2008) when I was in El Rosario to visit with Mama next door for a week I stopped in to see If I could find
you to say hello but alas you were no where to be seen. Maybe next time I come down to see Mama I'll find you in. I met my brother Jimmy's
Sister-in-Law when I came in for gas with my brother Sany. I talked to her a while until she ran me off because she got to busy to chat with me. I hugged and kissed her and wished her well. Take care and again I hope to see you
the next time I am down to see Mama.

Welcome back, mi amigo
Missed your gas price posts and your other notes about items of interest in Baja.
Free WiFi in El Rosario???!!!
(I think the Apocalypse is upon us)
Our gang took over most of the motel in Feb and it was very gracious hosting, as usual. Not a lot of night life in ER in Feb, but then we already
knew that.
And the petro station was functioning well, as per usual.
Hope the economics allow the upgrade on the banos, and soon..... you will note that I have not even mentioned the urinal, in this post.... ooops,
guess it just slipped out, so to speak.
Glad to have you back, and hope they will believe me at the desk when I claim to be a Nomad.

Great to see you back----have stayed there a few times recently. Still always say we wish there was a chain of Baja Cactus Motels up and down
Baja----now that might cost a few bucks.
Glad you are going to redo the restrooms at the gas station---know that you have wanted to do so for some time.
Good luck and hope you are there sometime when we are.

Good to see your posts again, Antonio! I will never forget the kindness, concern and care by you and your staff when I had gotten so sick eating Crab
Burritos in (you know where). The Baja Cactus Motel is the best in all of Baja, Amigo!

Hola Antonio,
And welcome back from the land of bureaucratic mindlessness ...
At least rest one day before tackling that web site.

BAJA-ROSARIO CULTURAL FESTIVAL
El Rosario Festival is postponed until next year (2009)...
I received an email today from Kim Williams who owns the gift shop (fossils, maps, rocks) on the southbound side of El Rosario... it was about Antonio
and the festival so I am mentioning it in this thread...
Without Antonio's efforts, the town just didn't seem able to put it together. Here is a short piece of Kim's email regarding it:
"... we will not be having a Rosario Festival 2008...but hopefully by next year whatever responsibilities to Pemex - Antonio had this year will be
taken care of and we can move toward another event with his full participation in 2009. I am always on board whenever he is ready to proceed."
