Barrel gas should be available at Catavina, intersection to Coco's (tire/llantera shop) and at Bay of LA intersection.

With your range you won't need to buy barrel anywhere - just at Pemex.
Key fueling locations will be: El Rosario, Loreto and Cd Constitution.
Key meaning that there's some distance before hitting another Pemex, although you should never be more than 75 or so miles from barrel gas. This isn't true though for some off road excursions.
Your best maps: www.baja-almanac.com
AAA map is OK, but they're way off regarding places to buy fuel and lacks detail.

Just came down the road. Gas out of barrel at B de LA intersection. Also some a truckers restaurant about 25 miles south of the intersection and again at Jesus Maria just north or Guerro Negro. Watch the pumps and count your change carefully.

I'm in Guerrero Negro now. I haven't had any probs with fuel, but some Americans in a truck mentioned fuel was in short supply in some parts. Fill up when you can - as we all know.

Info on your route.

Deeds,
Any chance you'd be able to divulge your route. My Bro and I are doing San Diego to Cabo in March. Things not to miss and things to skip would be a HUGE help since neither of us have been riding in Baja.

Did you ship your bike back or was it RT.

Thanks and have a great time.
Peter

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
