Baja - Water Availability
Is fresh water fairly available in Baja? Not necessarily for drinking, but for 25 gallon trailer tank and maybe 2 x 5-gallon water containers? Thanks.

Be cautious using domestic water in tiny out of the way communities. Much of the water down here (I have been on the peninsula now for 2 years)is 20,000 year-old aquifer grade and it is LOADED with dissolved solids no standard filter can touch. It isn't hazardous (but I do not trust water in Santa Rosalia) but it can coat a hot water tank so quickly it isn't funny. Domestic water in Mulege has less TDS than in Guerrero Negro, Vizcaino, Loreto or Cd. Constitucion. How much is "a lot" of total dissolved solids? Oh maybe ten to sixty times as much as what is allowed in municipal water north of the border. Flush your rig well if you have to use high TDS domestic water.
