For those traveling to Baja - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I noticed that diesel prices were $3.20 a gallon (at current conversion rates) down in San Felipe last weekend. I paid $2.60 a gallon to fill up to head down there - good thing I have a 60 gallon transfer flow installed on my truck, and don't need to fillup for a Gonzaga round trip.

News last night said that a bunch of truckers protested in Ensenada and are blocking the distribution center for days on end - Baja will be running out of fuel by next week...

some pretty interesting videos on youtube about the riots/looting. The USD now gets 21.4 pesos. So the removal of the Mex. gvt's gas subsidy is gonna be even more painful for the locals now AND probably later.

Higher gas prices = higher prices for many goods

This + them having to build and pay for a new wall

... may not make Americans too popular, so be careful down there.

I never understood violent protests. Looting stores, destroying property.

Its like some one goes "man gas prices are unfair and too high, lets lower gas prices by looting and destroying the community"
