We brought 250 toys across yesterday but not smuggled because of time factors now, we went ahead and declared them and paid the tax. It was $1,800 pesos but at least those are across. The other 50 or so, we left in a house in San Ysidro so we can smuggle those or just pay the tax and be done with it. Customs is getting ridiculous with toys, money hungry blood suckers.
The only thing left at Bajabound is the 6 bikes we received this year. If you can help us with bringing a couple of those, yes, it would be great. You see they wouldn't fit in the 2 cars we took and we can't say the value is only 3 dollars each. I don't know if you're driving a truck but they are mid size bikes.
Gracias,
Fernando

With the new border crossing situation the meeting point for this event will be on the US side, at the San Ysidro McDonalds Transit Center at 9AM on Sunday.
There you will be meeting up with Doug Means (Mr. Baja Nomad himself), who at the same time will be waiting on a Meetup Group that is interested in joining us.
The venue is in Tecate, at a community called Cerro Azul which is located on Hwy 3 Tecate Ensenada, km14. These are very poor children that live in the outskirts of town, were most of the brick makers are.
If you plan to attend, please let us know as we have to plan for the transportation accordingly.
Also if you are running late, my mexico cel number is 01152 1 664 116-5788 or send Doug your number on a U2U so we can wait for you.
Saludos
Fernando

Then 8am meeting time it is! Which allows a little buffer time if needed, and the ability to spend any needed time with immigration folks when walking across, etc.

8am at McDonalds in San Ysidro next to the trolley station.

Small miracle needed;
There are 6 mid size bicycles at Bajabound that need to be picked up today Saturday between 10 am and 1pm only and brought down to San Ysidro were we would cross them to Mιxico.
So maybe someone here with a truck that could do this for us???

Or at least pick them up from Bajabound and we can figure out later how to get them to the border and across.
