I don't know why I'm doing this, but I will be in Northern Baja this weekend, braving the crowds and belligerent border waits. Had to delay my Sentri
appointment so I'll be chilling in the Ready Lane. I will let you know how long it takes to cross if I ever make it back.DENNIS - 8-30-2013 at 12:03 PM
The "throngs" are already beginning to arrive here in PB. This will be a good weekend to measure the "new and vigorous" tourism market. Hope it
turns out well.Ateo - 8-30-2013 at 12:15 PM

No. You know me better than that.
I use La Joya beach camp as my source. I'll drive through and notice the plates on the cars and try to figure the predominant demographic.
Hardly scientific, but it's the best [only] method I have.
This weekend....lots of California plates along with the Eagles on the sound systems.
Things are changing, I'm happy to say. Vendors will still tell you business is terrible, but it isn't for the moment.DENNIS - 9-1-2013 at 05:28 PM

Sunday at 2PM.dasubergeek - 9-1-2013 at 10:10 PM
I walked over to do some shopping (had bought a case of wine in SD, stupidly, and couldn't cross with it and then come back with it) and the line to
cross back around noon, even for the regular lanes, wasn't even back to where the medical line butts in.
The pedestrian crossing was an absolute fustercluck though... the regular (white) lane went all the way back past the old taxi stand, up the hill to
Ferrocarril, looped around, and was back over the bridge. The new SY pedestrian ReadyLane was backed up only to the new southbound entrance, and as
usual the SENTRI was completely empty.
