Why so negative?(4 plus pages later i think we know why)Enough already!
Why does everyone seem to be in such a funk?
Sure there are a few problems. I don't think anyone is in denial but it ain't all bad.
Fishing is HOT everywhere just about. Fuel is plentiful and cheap. Beer is cold, ladies are beautiful and hot.
LIFE IS GOOOOD! ENJOY IT!

I see a few spot shortages here and there. And it's still around $2.50/gal isn't it.
It's not a problem.
Why do you paint such a gloomy picture all the time?
Some people get a thrill off of creating a bunch of negative drama.

Just the way it is
I think arguing the negativity is negative rather than reporting it.
I for one do not see things negatively -- probably never will. I don't think of Baja that way and don't see it that way. Bad news sells and
people will probably believe the worst anyway -- because I think that's how alot of people are. For the rest, it's Baja as usual.

F*ck it.

If not, a pity, lo siento!

Hey fishbuck, if you read the news instead of the jokes on the bar napkins during happy hour, you would know that 60% of the gas stations in Baja are
out of gas. You do read Spanish, don't you?

"DESABASTO DE GASOLINA EN EL 60 POR CIENTO DE LAS ESTACIONES EN LA REGIÓN"
So, fishbuck, since part of the raison d'etre for this board is to give current information on Baja to travelers, what good does an ill-informed
comment like: "Fuel is plentiful and cheap" do anybody?
Inquiring minds want to know.

You can read all the newspapers you want, I was just in Baja and encountered no shortages. Just my real-life experience.

BY STEPHANIE SANCHEZ, SUN STAFF WRITER
SAN LUIS RIO COLORADO, Son. - Some gas stations here have experienced a gasoline and diesel shortage partly because they haven't been able to keep up
with the high demand of American motorists who are crossing the border to take advantage of cheaper prices.
PEMEX gas stations workers said they hope their fuel supplies normalize this week after delays in fuel shipments from Rosarito, Baja Calif., and high
demand from American motorists combined to cause shortages.
It appears to be temporary and limited to the border. Not a problem.

It appears to be a month-old news article, and did you happen to notice they were talking about Sonora?. That's your problem.

Hey, that's good to know, Zac, 'cause your posts and blog say you were last in Baja about 10 days ago and the article I read was from yesterday. You
should update your blog for the trip you took to Baja after you got back on the 13th, since your information is more current.

En incertidumbre gasolineras por desabasto
Leyendas como “fuera de servicio”, “precaución descargando combustible”, interminables filas de conos anaranjados bloqueando las entradas; estaciones
en aparente abandono y despachadores, limpiando residuos de aceite y gasolina, en espera de que llegue una nueva pipa cargada de combustible, es parte
del panorama que viven algunas gasolineras de la ciudad desde la madrugada del domingo.
Aunque algunos gasolineros de la localidad aseguraron estar preparados para hacerle frente al desabasto de combustible, que vive la región desde hace
algunas semanas, a otros no les ha quedado de “otra” más que sentarse a esperar el cargamento.
De acuerdo con sondeo realizado por FRONTERA, despachadores de cinco estaciones, ubicadas en diversas zonas, coincidieron que el desabasto de gasolina
PREMIUM que actual enfrentan se debe al proceso de entrega-recepción por parte de la estación Pemex, situada en Rosarito.
“Estamos batallando con los tiempos de entrega, nos están surtiendo una vez o dos veces a la semana de acuerdo con un programa que ellos están
manejando, a mi a veces me falta un tipo de combustible pero últimamente nos mandan una pipa de una y una de otra”, explicó Luis Fernando Salgado
Plat, encargado de Eco Gasolineras.
Además de la incertidumbre en que viven los encargados y empleados de gasolineras, FRONTERA constató que el desconcierto que vive la población va en
aumento, pues aunque los hechos dicen más que las palabras, en ninguna sola estación se observaron cartelones anunciando la falta de combustible.
[last sentence]In addition to the uncertainty experienced by managers and employees of gas stations, FRONTERA found that the bewilderment of the
people is increasing, because although the facts speak louder than words, in not one single gas station were there banners announcing the lack of
fuel.

I saw this one but I guess I didn't read any shortage into it.
My spin:
They are cutting the fuel supply near the border. They don't want the subidized fuel going into the US. So they might run out of gas there.
The is plenty of fuel and no lines in Rosarito. I never fuel up until I get to Ensenada.
So from Rosarito on south plenty on fuel.
Plus recent field reports from a reliable source (Bajaboy) indicate no fuel shortage.
I did like the part about ladies trading sex for gasoline.
I always have a full tank of fuel in my truck so if any lady Nomads need help...
