Hate to do a 400 mile round trip to find the segundas had a poor high season. Anyone over there passed through one of the Mulege segundas recently?
General impressions? Hope the gringos jettisoned lots of goodies before flapping their way north!chuckie - 3-22-2013 at 02:20 PM
Do they ever? Most of the unneeded stuff seems to be donated to charity events....Segunda under the bridge seem to have the same old shoes and shirts,
as of yesterday....

You should be looking for one item less........did you get the package from Shari????mulegemichael - 3-22-2013 at 03:23 PM
2 new segundas opening under the bridge as we passed by 10 minutes ago back from lunch at scotties.....ahhhhhh, the thai stirfry!!!DavidE - 3-22-2013 at 04:09 PM
Dang another U2U to you bajaguy did not get through. Same for capKW. I wonder what I am doing wrong?
Diez Mil Gracias amigo! I sent a gracias to Shari at the same time!
Since I got my grubby hands on your cooker THREE LOADS have been processed! One turkey soup, one beef stew and one corn chowder! The liners are too
precious to "waste". They will be used when I make my world famous spaghetti sauce!
Amigo Nomads have brought me quite a load of stuff over the last six months! Used the garden hose EVERY DAY, the gardening tools at least once a week.
Three times this week. The CFL bulbs are burning bright, the LED monster is placed right over my stove, AA and AAA batteries are in constant use in
medical devices! The fertilizer is long gone but the plants aren't. My landlady giggles every time she visits "You weren't kidding when you said you
needed a microwave, a toaster oven, coffeemaker! You use these things every day!"
With this @#$%^&! herniated spine, it causes a condition where I can simply say "Oh well, it hurts too much to do much today". All this gear has
made a fundamental improvement in the quality of my life. You cannot believe just how difference those WHITE CFL lamps make when the sun goes down!
Sunday is "heavy-duty" gardening day (light duty for healthy people). I love to see things grow. That esterico I get from the Caracol Dairy just turns
this desert sand and rock on its head.
So instead of wimping off to "cripple-land" I'll stay busy, healthy and comfortable.
What more could a person ask for?bajaguy - 3-22-2013 at 04:20 PM

If it's segundas you're after (translate: second-hand thrift stores) Mulege is not your destination of choice, imo.
There are only two permanent segundas in Mulege with storefronts. There are occasional traveling segundas under the bridge, Gypsy Point as I call it,
and as MulegeMichael says, three are now here. They have mainly clothing, and I've no idea how long they'll be in town.
The gypsy segundas that come out to Asuncion bring a far-wider range of household products, and as you know Vizcaino is perhaps the gypsy segunda
capitol of Baja Central. Sta. Rosalia has a pretty good semi-permanent gypsy segunda, too.

We found 'gringo pricing' at a nomadic clothing place in Asuncion. The last secunda on the south side of the road leaving Viscaino for the west has a
lot of tools, and the man there speaks very nice English.chuckie - 3-23-2013 at 04:12 AM
There are a pair of Khaki Dockers under the bridge in Mulege, too small for me...Mulegena - 3-23-2013 at 07:47 AM

Cool! Are they on a hanger or walking around?
I love prowling the segundas. Sometimes you can find some really neat stuff, like the very posh shopping bag from Harrods of London that was hanging
on the street at one of the segundas!DavidE - 3-23-2013 at 11:44 AM
BAHÌA ASUNCIÓN Segunda Pricing (In Español)
"How much for this "sartén (frying pan)? This one. The one that's dented and has chips missing in the non-stick coating"
¡150 pesos?! (I went to Miramar and bought a new one for 130)
"¿Cuanto Cuesta la recamara?" (How much for the bed?)
"Oh that one is beautiful is it not? Look at the label (ripped). It is a Seeeely Posurpeeeedic, ¿no? Keeeeng Sized. For you today only special price
ocho mil quinientos pesos!" ($685.00 US) He would not budge on the price.
Mis vecinas'a (my neighbor's) comments to me about the prices the vagrant segundas charge here....
"Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja. ¿Surely you jest?"shari - 3-23-2013 at 04:01 PM
after awhile of being a segunda oficianado one learns who's prices are way to high...and which vendors have great prices and so one just waits till
the good ones show up once a month or so and shop accordingly...and the venders get to know you too.chuckie - 3-23-2013 at 05:53 PM
we have shopped the segundas here in Mulege and in Santa Rosalia, and found the prices to be mostly out of sight.....Last time we went to Santa
Rosalia, I took my housekeeper, and she did the deal without them knowing I was involved..WAY BETTER preciochuckie - 3-23-2013 at 05:53 PM

The gypsy segundas that come here also overcharge and I mean waaaay overcharge. I haven't ever found a reasonable one, which is why the sales we do
to raise cash have awesome prices....and it is so fun! Win-win-win
