Just waiting till someone says I can make it pulling my 20' travel trailer Albeit sloooowly on the dirt part. Can't we bribe a CAT driver to push a
blade for 23 miles just to smooth it out once in a while?

I have been over that real estate a number of times in the past couple of years. I would worry more, pulling a 20' trailer, about meeting one of the
big trucks on a curve or narrow section. As to running a blade over it, I think it would make it worse by pulling out the half buried rocks...It is
going to need road base, rather than just trying to scrape it...Its NOT a killer road....as Baja roads go...

The construction crews had been putting dirt on the worst parts and grading it.

When I drove it Northbound May 1st. last year, it was not that bad but the contents of my cargo trailer got fairly scrambled. I drove very slowly so
the rough part between Rt. 1 and Coco's took me the better part of an hour.
I hope they don't take a blade to it any time after April fools day as I might be doing it again about the first of May and want all of the sharp
rocks to have time to get beaten down by the big rigs.
Is it just me or are things kinda falling apart for Coco? The place was a mess and he really could have used a bath. I don't remember things being
this bad ever.
I have never been a fan of places festooned with women's old underwear but I'm not his customer base anyway. More concerned about his physical health.

Came across there the last week of Oct. this year... most of the sharp pointy rocks were pushed away.. worst part of the 23 miles was the last 3 or
so to hwy 1... still big ruts and holes then... They have cleaned up most of the road probably to get supplies and equipment in to the work camps of
which I think there were 3.....
Girders were being set for bridges and thousands of yards of concrete had been poured for drainage... The last gig hill and curve coming south there
was a long stretch of new built up road that you could not drive on yet...
The nasty rock areas were mostly history....

I can recall hearing people at Alfonsina's say the road will be paved to Gonzaga... when Hell freezes over! That was in 1974 when they just finished
surveying the route for a highway.
That highway was built in 1986, but never paved. The current highway is using a slightly different alignment... and made for high speed. Hell is a
cold cold place, I guess?

Like I said Papa Fernandez told me that it would be paved soon back in the early 70s :-)

NOOOO !!! Really, wodd???
You must've had a humorotomy; some sick sneaky snide surgeon snuck into your suite, drugged you, and removed your funny bone... and you still haven't
totally awakened from the anesthesia. I think sarcasm is wasted on thE HCCA (Hotel/Country Club Critic's aAssociation).
