Serious vados S of Vizcaino; rocks on 5
The vados have probably already dried out and maybe the rocks are already cleared, but here are two observations from a 10-hour trip from Santa
Rosalia to Calexico today:
-- Approaching Vizcaino from the South, at least two of the vados were REALLY running with brown water across the road, kind of like a class II wave
train if you can picture that. Lots of small cars were lined up waiting; big trucks plowed across and so did I in a Tacoma on 4WD high, but not
without some slipping. It was exciting.
-- Some big rocks on 5 climbing up out of Chapala area, either side in several places. Definitely go slow if they're still there, as they pretty much
block an entire lane. Rest of the road north after coming down to Bahia Willard area was rock-free and water-free and fast.
Drive safe amigos!

Thanks for the heads up!! Drove north on MEX1 yesterday (actually took the long way around from San juanico… details on that trip to come soon)
Water everywhere along side the road in places that it’s not usually. But the road was clear in the travel lanes. Minor rocks on MEX5 just past
Chapala today.
Be aware, as always though!!

The coast road between Asuncion & La Bocana is washed out....nobody getting through yet but supposedly it was going to be worked on today.
Lots of mud in the vados so drive carefully...lots of accidents.

There are some serious vados along that coastal road... especially between Asunción and Punta Prieta.
