Besides being faster driving west on the US side of the border, gasoline is currently much cheaper in CA than Mexico.
Having said that, I would rather drive slowly picking a line through the rocks on the thirty plus miles of unpaved highway five than do the drive down
through Ensenada.
I drove north on Highway five just before Thanksgiving pulling a utility trailer without much trouble. If your trailer tires are large enough, and
the load not too heavy, I would drop the pressure to soften the ride. There is a tire shop at Gonzaga Bay, and another one at the junction with
Highway 1.
If you go that way, watch out for the 'vados' on the old pavement south of San Felipe. They could launch a trailer! |
