Same here. They said they were selling 12k gallons a week. Rancho Grande is now permanently closed.

Yes, it is still open. The road is in horrible shape again though. Yahooooooo!:o

No... If you didn't get a reply. (I reply to all emails I read), it may have been flushed as unknown junk mail... sorry! Can you U2U me your email so I will recognize it? Putting 'Baja' in the subject line helps!

I did get the U2U about the slanderous lies being told about me on another message board, that you saw.... and I replied to you in the U2U.

Me No... when you say Rancho Grande is closed, do you just mean they are no longer selling gas or the whole store is closed? It's always been a great place to get some beer and ice (when the ice maker works) and other things when you need them.

Rest easy, Rancho Grande's not going anywhere. Only not serving fuel. Pemex rules prevent non-licensed fuel sales in a specified radius from a Pemex station.

Tom, the roads (to me) were fantastic. The only 'rough' part was about 10-15 miles south of Puertecitos where more rocks in the roadbase were sticking up, than before. The bad pavement from Puertecitos north (15-20 miles) is also slow going.

The only bumps otherwise were in front of Coco's Corner (his topes). However, if you pull into his parking area to buy a can of Pacifico and sign his book, the topes (speed bumps) are avoided!

Bob H: As Nikon stated, when the Pemex is open, Rancho Grande closes its gas pump... afterall, who would pay $3/gal. if it is $2 across the street?

In Catavi?a, the Pemex pump is closed and wrapped up! All that effort putting in a new pump, and already closed. However Alfonso is there (across the street) selling and now a second vendor was in Catavi?a selling.

All this was observed a week ago...
