Making roads for 2WD cars is the real enemy of Nature in Baja! :light:


No kidding. Look at the work they are doing on Mex 5 between Coco's and Chapala. That area has been destroyed by road construction. Way more than it probably needs to be.

WOW...
Thanks for sharing those, DK

Brings back memories of my old days with the Jeeps I owned and drove similar trails...but never with a trailer (that takes huevos).
