NEWS The $ 160 million, 1061 mile ribbon of asphalt in Baja, Ca. is finally finished and was dedicated Dec. 1. To the Mexicans this means new prosperity from the Gringo tourists. To the lovers of unspoiled Mexico this is the end of a dream. However if Mexico has problems with gasoline, the tourist may be unable to pollute Baja. The new highway has some perils. Water is scarce, speedy communications are difficult, accommodations are virtually nil, auto repair service is limited, parts scarce, side roads rough and there is a language barrier.
