It does exist. Had to spend a weekend there for a soccer tournament about 8 years ago. The twon rolls up it's sidewalks on Sunday but it has a restaurant/ice cream shop thats been around for something like 100 years and serves a deadly milkshake.

Haha, that's a good one. There's still a couple of towns (or twons) in rural Baja that have those glass-head pumps. I made the mistake of filling up my 1974 Ford Courier pickup with the cheapest Mexican gas available...this was during the Gas Crisis of 1978 or 1979. The gas was a deep green color---about the color of ocean water. My truck died after about 3 months of vigorous protesting (smoking, stalling, hacking and pinging). :oops:

I remember using one of those pumps. You pump 10 gallons up into the g;ass head then release the gas into your car. This was up at Medicine Lake in NE California. Great fly fishing.

Love my duckies, not only do they provide power but because the fins are long (that means I dont cut them, if you are then don't buy duckfeet) they create a bigger base(more stability) and more push into my turns (try wearing no fins, huge difference). Also if your feet are prone to blisters, try some waterproof plaster from your local pharmacy store, works like a charm!
