Another idea. That hand-drawn El Rosario map that David K. made should be either made into a postcard which you can sell for 50 cents, OR - I like
this one better - run off about 500 copies and put a sign out, that says "Free Map". Everyone will come over for their free map of El Rosario and
maybe buy something too, and it will make the other townspeople happy because maybe people will learn something about El Rosario and spend more money
in town. Later, you can add other shopkeepers' business card info on the back, or logo or whatever, charge them a little bit to have their
advertising on the "map", which will pay for subsequent copy runs of the map. Eventually, have a nice color cardstock version made, which you can
sell for $1.00. I'm sure David K. will be happy to run off the first 500 copies!!!

The problem is the map of any Baja town is so quickly outdated (places change names/ businesses close/ new one open)...
However, it is fine with me!

Excellent reason to go back often and keep the map up-to-date.

Si, with 2,000 people driving through town every day, hundreds will be passed out for free in the first couple of months. As the map incorporates
more and more "business card" ads, and places of business change, it will become continually updated and new versions run off, which shouldn't be too
cumbersome to do - maybe twice a year or so. I think it would be valuable to travelers to know where to get a tire fixed, a weld, a small museum, a
good meal - good for the town in general, and of course, it should have the Baja Cactus logo and contact numbers on the front, which people can take
with them and have for the future.
