Mood: Have Baja Fever

Lot's of people here, and posted photos too... Search, look at the Road Conditions forum here.

I was over it twice last July. It is 23 graded dirt miles, easy in 2WD, but it is a rough surface, especially the 13 miles from Coco's Corner to Laguna Chapala where they are actively building a new highway roadbed.

No new pavement added beyond the point it ended the past year, 12 miles/20 km. south of the Gonzaga Bay Pemex.

Mood: Got my little stone hut on the bay

Not much change.
Came through about 2 weeks ago pulling a cargo trailer with 2wd PU.
Where it was just dirt road now is dirt detour.
Lots of construction work going on all along the length of the unfinished portion including Laguna Chapala where it got a bit gnarly with standing water, ruts and mud bowls.
Lots of work going on here too as they have to raise the roadbed several feet.
If you are looking for the road to be "finished" my estimation would be at least 2 more years...maybe more. A lot of work done but I would doubt that it is 30% completed.

Current map shows the Baja 800 going from Coco's to the pavement at race speed on the 20-21 of Nov. If that is the case, expect conditions to change.
