David, if the new paved road is in the same location as the graded gravel road in the photo, perhaps it truncated the runway leaving it as the now
reported 1500'. Most of the "bush" type aircraft used in Baja can handle 1500' with a fair headwind to help them out, but still that is pretty hairy,
and certainly the mins. that any reasonable pilot would tackle. Personally, I am with Capt. Mike-----1700' min.. and I would "pucker" at that.
