Grover.

Don't count on it man.

This last Fall I had a booth in the industry exposition at the Fiestas del Sol in Mexicali. As I was packing up I ran into a friend of mine who had a hot dog/ snowcone kind of a stand in the food vendors' section and he asked me if he could use my pickup to cart his stuff out. Any way we wound up making several trips with his stuff (he had a lot) and finally the only thing that remained was the gravel on the ground which was mixed with a bunch of half-eaten hotdogs and soda pop. He asked if I minded making one last trip to go back and shovel up the freaking gravel to put on his driveway.

Later that night as I was having a beer I told the story to the bartender - he laughed and said - "Si - aqui en M?xico todo tiene valor - hasta la 'inche grava." (Everything has some value - even the freaking gravel).

Your aware they're shipping out the sand from baja - don't count on there being ANYTHING left man.

Take care.
