Leaving Sac on Sunday for San Felipe. A ride-along that is able to share driving would be desirable. Female preferred. My age 70; longtime Baja
driving history. (since 1967). >>>> Vaccinated <<<

Which border crossing are you planning on using?scotinexcile - 4-8-2021 at 03:10 PM
Is that a TW200 you have next to the van?
Sacramento to San Felipe + possible return. Soon

Straight through Mexicali. 1hen2ducks - 4-8-2021 at 03:14 PM
Yes TW 200 and what a fun bike, but not fast enough to get out of the way of those crazy truck drivers down there.scotinexcile - 4-8-2021 at 05:32 PM
We are planning on heading that way next Wednesday, would be interested in hearing about how easy the crossing was
Crossed southbound at Calexico/Mexicali West mid afternoon Thurs 3/25. It only took 10 minutes or so to get to the front of the line, 5 minutes or
less for my Sprinter to be inspected, and another 5 min. to get our FMMs and be on our way.
The southbound military checkpoint on Hwy 5 near the intersection with Hwy 3 was also quick and routine.
We crossed back to the U.S.A. on Monday 3/29, also at Mexicali West, because we departed San Felipe too late to make Mexicali East by the 2pm closing.
The wait in line was about 2 hours, 15 minutes.
A "much needed long weekend in San Felipe" satisfied the essential purpose requirement for everyone who asked, Mexican and American alike, and
resulted in a smile from all but the U.S. Border Patrol Agent.1hen2ducks - 4-8-2021 at 06:24 PM
plan is to hit it early and drive on, and on.David K - 4-8-2021 at 07:26 PM
At least take a break at Gonzaga Bay, have a look, 1 mile from the highway at Rancho Grande (Km. 147+, second driveway left after the gas station). scotinexcile - 4-9-2021 at 08:51 AM
