Baja Almanac
So last week my Baja Almanac disappeared... I didn't consider that it would be a "high profile" item until I got home and tried to replace it.
Anyone know where I can find one at a reasonable price?
Thanks!

I found that they were sold out on baja almanacs website so I contacted the owner and he emailed me back telling me I could find a copy at http://www.discoverbaja.com/ so I called them and told them the owner sent me and they sold me a copy at the member price. this was within the
past 3 months. give them a call. a nice girl by the name of Monica helped me out.

I bought a new Baja Almanac there a couple months back while I was picking up a new Mexican fishing license from them. I live nearby so I can just
drop in. It's a nice little shop.

Deanfootlong- You must have a more charming personality then me lol... I was told that I have to be a member to buy one from them...
Its only 40 bucks a year so I guess its not the worst thing... Anyone else a member of Discover Baja? Worth it?

Belonging to Discover Baja depends on what you expect from them, kind of like belonging to AARP. They sell books and maps etc. at a discount. You can
get your Baja auto insurance thru them. They have a newsletter that has good info about Baja and some mainland areas. They put together road trips for
members. They have guest speakers come in for a evening get together. If you have any questions about traveling to Baja they can answer them. You can
get your tourist visa there paid for and all, just need to get it stamped at the border. Yes I am a member, have been for a long time.

Mama Espinozas is next door to Baja Cactus in El Rosario.
Discover Baja sells books to anyone. Members get a discount. The book I coauthored is sold there.

Check with BajaJudy on this board. She's in Cabo but I am sure she can get it to you if she has them.

I bought mine last month from DiscoverBaja without being a member. Costs like $2 more but I joined Vagabundos for my insurance and docs since they are
closer to home for me.
Wow, I really like the laminated and bound copy. Did you get that done at Kinkos? I would like to get that done before heading to Baja on Saturday.

Look what I just found ... http://bajamaps.net/ 
They produce this long glossy peninsula map (see images below) that I got in 2010 and further I spoke to Carlos Esparza Ramon in 2012 in Ensenada
about purchasing a few more. This is a BEAUTIFUL product, about 7-feet long 16-inches wide in color with great detail (though not as much as the
atlas). I never did get around to buy a few more. These maps put the AAA map to shame.
Does anyone know where I can obtain this map?
Unfortunately, the website shown returns these errors:
http://www.esparzaeditores.com.mx/ ... not found

I just got an answer via e-mail from the publisher:
Hi,
You can buy the maps in any OXXO convinience stores
in Ensenada.
Thanks
