I mean, it's not like it has the Secret Surfing and Fishing Spots of the Seven Sisters or the Secret Lost Missions of the Jesuits and the Franciscans
marked on it.
Uh...............does it??????? |
don't start, Hook!!!

The Seven Sister's are, of course, on page 7. ......
Or are they?

David,
Would you please be kind enough to forward a link to your Almanac drawing of that shortcut between San Francisquito and Santa Gertrudis turnoff? If I
have that, I won't need the new Almanac.
Your hand-drawn route is either on an almanac map or the AAA map....either works for me.
I have ridden it several times either way, but want to provide an accurate link to a friend.
Thanks

It shows on the sample map on the Almanac web page... I have posted it on the 2003 Almanac and AAA map many times... Let's see if I can dig those
up...

The link to the 2009 sample with that part of Baja... is above... posted earlier in this thread.
Here is the 2003 Almanac with that road drawn in...
This map is from my El Camino Real from space series... the numbers and arrows point to places where I saved a photo of the Camino Real from Google
Earth. Anyway, the shortcut road is drawn in.
Below is the AAA map, and I drew in the northern half of the short cut, with mileage... Not sure why AAA didn't drive it when they mapped the southern
section?

If you're not living in the US, don't bother trying to order the almanac from the [expletive withheld] site. I received this today, a full two weeks
after placing my order. The complications of ~$2 more for postage to Canada must have overwhelmed them for days.
"Sir, We are not setup to ship international Almanac orders. A refund has been issued to your account. To order please visit www.discoverbaja.com, they can process international orders. Thank you, Baja Almanac Publishers"
I should be leaving within 5 weeks so I'll take my chances at picking up the new one at DBTC on the way through since ordering through the DBTC
website isn't a simple online affair. If I can't get one there I don't think I'll bother. Given the 1.5 year publishing delay and now this, I can't
say that I'm all that interested in supporting the Baja Almanac people any further than my 2003 edition.

Thanks Ged and Michael...
Since Landon doesn't sell direct to Canada, order from Discover Baja Travel Club... or pick them up in San Diego when you are down here... Remember,
they recently moved a couple miles away from their old site. Get address off their web site... It is real easy to get to off I-5.
I am sure Landon has already distributed them on the peninsula, so you can buy them at places down there. Kim Williams in El Rosario (Baja Maps and
Fossil shop) is a distributor for Landon, as well. They were first sold in San Felipe and that's how we found out on Nomad.

I'm so glad we are cutting off the canucks. Ever since my kid started playing ice hockey I've had to spend about $4000 usd every year. Let see that
7 years X 4000 = $28,000. Thats about 40 trips to baja that I got shorted on. I blame Canada and their national sport, Ice Hockey.
It's too bad canadian girls are cuter then americans.

Almanac's in El Rosario
I saw one for sale (Maybe they had more) at Mama Espanosas' (sp) last week. It was all wraped in cellophane so it could not be perused. Maybe they get
them from Kim, I don't know.
