firewood
big, I also prefer to bring quality wood for wood burning stove, I have an open wood rack on top of My subaru and cross with it in plain view ,only
one time I was questioned at the secondary at SY crossing and I told them it was for cooking and to stay warm and they let Me keep it, My wood was
small split oak and euc logs, if the wood is 2x4 or constructon cut offs that could be a problem no matter the size because they don't want people
bringing used bulding material down , I think that creates the confusion about the legality of bringing wood down, let us know how it goes.

Ain't that the truth! I mean, who are these people?
Anywho, you know a good place in Baja to pick up some oak, maybe a bit of pine? Lookin' to build a campfire, do some cookin'.
Lemme know! |
You can buy firewood in a lot of places. South of Maneadero at La Grulla. Sign out front. don't know what kind.
Guerrero Negro, Vizcaino, San Ignacio, all have dry Mesquite for sale
Don't kow where you are headed but even the small town of Punta Abreojos has plenty of firewood.
Just ask in a town for leña.

They never let me down or introduced invasive species or stripped the local resources |
Nice, the most thought full answer here

I forgot about that market - we went in there last year for the first time. Such a great market! And now I remember the huge pile of firewood they
had on the side - that's a great call. Thanks!

I think you guys are describing the market 'San José'? It is #3 on this map I made of El Rosario businesses, in 2006:
Restaurants are highlighted.

no DK, you would turn right instead of taking the big curve towards the east. basically across the empty lot from the SJ store towards the sea. i
remember they used to have jars with pickled scorpoins and rattlers and tarantulas on display in the display case. haven't been in there in 20 years
tho.

Jon is describing the big San José market here... Maybe the #3 on my map should be a little more to the left of where I stuck it? Unless this is
something new, and you turn west and go away from Hwy. 1? I have been going to that market since the 1980's.
EDIT: I just looked at Google Earth and indeed the market building is just west of the corner, but the parking lot for it is straight across Hwy. 1,
where it turns sharp left.

We go into Vizcaino quite often, can you please give directions where we can pick up some firewood? Would love some Mesquite. Thanks.

Sotres (on the hiway) had it...or ask around. I usually buy it in Abreojos or have someone bring some from San Ignacio. By the way, apparently it
is cheaper in Mulege if you know someone coming from there.
