Firewood in GN or Vizcaino
Group camping in a few weeks means the pyro's need a camp fire to play with... aye.
Since the border crossing is becoming more and more regulated, I'm trying to eliminate problems.
I would like to purchase firewood, preferably in GN or Vizcaino, but am open to buying it south of
TJ.
Any recs are greatly appreciated.
saludos

Look for the word "Leña" on signs along the road... Firewood for sale.

I think I remember seeing lots of firewood for sale in the Maneadero area, just south of Ensenada. It was on the west side of the road...

Yes, thanks. I have seen it there also. It is a bit inconsistent.

We put a stack of split almond in a single row along the front of the pickup bed, then load all the gear in as normal.
Enough for lots of campfires.
Been doing it for 20 years and nary a peep at the border
When we got xrayed last year we held our breath, but no comment.
It does add some serious weight to the load, but sure makes the truck ride better over the ragged road of Mex 1.

Also known as 'Cantamar' at Km. 47 on the free road to Ensenada.

Other than loss of time and the firewood, are other penalties involved with bringing firewood into Baja? I only ask because I get more than I will
ever be able to burn just from thinning the dead and problem trees from my property.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Also be careful bringing firewood back into the US. They can get picky about it. Best to leave it in Mexico.

Thanks for all of the responses.
Mexico is upping their game on inspections. I respect that. I for sure will be in the scanner. I've been in the scanner before with firewood. No
problem.
Just don't want to start my week in paradise with the hassle.
Vizcaino it is!

Also on the southeast part of tow, right by the Sotres store there is usually mesquite firewood for sale.
