Second Pressing is of the first edition. Baja Bound ordered a supply of them with an advertisement page added when they learned how
huge the demand was shortly after the Atlas was introduced and Benchmark would need to print more. Baja Bound sells the Atlas (first edition/ second
pressing) for $20 + shipping.
To get the 2023 Second Edition, that I described, with your (PaulW) many edit suggestions made, order from Benchmark directly: https://www.benchmarkmaps.com/product/baja-california-road-r...
Edit: This was a reply to a (now removed post from a) Nomad who mentioned the Baja Bound special price ($20) deal for the "second pressing" of
the Atlas. The second pressing (or what most call a second printing) was just more of the first edition (so many were ordered, it depleted
the first printing far sooner than Benchmark had ever experienced before!
The amount of updates, as you can see by the list, may not warrant passing up on the Baja Bound discounted Atlas. Thanks to PaulW, the area that
received the most additions was the San Felipe-Valle Chico region. If you are an avid off-roader in that area, maybe the 2023 second edition is worthy
of buying if you already have the 2021 first edition.
Since Benchmark is so welcoming of Baja Nomad updates or corrections, please keep them coming for the third edition! You can u2u or email them to me
or to Benchmark directly.
>>> Beside me, PaulW and geoffff made edit suggestions. Did any other Nomad make suggested edits??? Please let me know here or u2u, and I
will tell you if they made them. <<<
One edit they did not make, and perhaps because there was no answer, was addressing the two Punta Quebrada's shown, off the road to Punta Eugenia from
Bahía Tortugas. Another edit that maybe was suggested too late, was to add San Andrés, an abandoned gold mine north of San Roque/ Bahía Asunción.
