Out Here.

Hola, vecinos. The Dusty Burro has arrived.

You know how it goes out here. The best electrician in Todos Santos does not have a website. The freshest fish is sold from a truck with no sign. The greatest casita deal disappears before anyone hears about it.

That is exactly what the Burro is for. It lands in your inbox every Thursday.

The more vecinos who use it, the more useful it gets for all of us. If you have a used surfboard, a lost dog, a Saturday market, or a great local trade to recommend:

Throw it on the Burro.

Head to dustyburro.com to add your free listing. It lives on the website and goes out to everyone in the Thursday dispatch.

Know someone who belongs out here? Pass it along.

Every Thursday. Free. Ours.

Nos vemos el jueves.

Today's Quote

“
Baja California is more than a peninsula. It is an island. An island in its geography, an island in its history, and an island in the hearts of those who inhabit it.
Fernando Jordán, El otro México
✦   Local Spotlight   ✦

Back in 2016, it became clear that too many families in our area simply could not access pediatric healthcare. What started as a focused effort to connect local kids with doctors has grown into the Padrino Children’s Foundation.

Today, working alongside medical professionals both right here in town and across Mexico, Padrino provides care for nearly 20% of the local kids facing financial hardship. They are treating hundreds of children a year. It is a massive, lasting impact on the health of our community, funded entirely by neighbors and charitable grants who step up to help.

If you have been looking for a way to give back out here, this is the team doing the heavy lifting.

Community Note

Artificial Lights Can Mean Death For Turtles. – If you live near the beach, Use lowest wattage amber, orange, or red LED. Point your shielded bulb downward. Turn off your decorative or unnecessary lights. Hatchlings move in the brightest direction which is the open view of the night sky over, and reflected by, the ocean.

Las Olas Recovery

Obtain Health. Find Peace. Rediscover Life!
Located in Baja California Sur, Las Olas is a comprehensive drug and alcohol detox and early drug rehab program that sits atop a hill overlooking a huerta and the Pacific Ocean. While Las Olas offers privacy and retreat, our goal is to make the detoxification process as comfortable as possible in a safe, monitored environment. We understand not only the exhaustion and frustration one feels while battling addiction, but also the same exhaustion and frustration felt by the family and friends of those struggling.
