Thank you for the map. Much appreciated.
At the risk of imposing, I have another question. Where the road from the San Borja mission (in the general area of BoLA) meets Hwy 1, there is the village of Rosarito which has the Cactus Motel (not to be confused with the one in El Rosario) and a restaurant next door. Does anyone know if the motel and restaurant are still open?

It was open and had fuel in jugs in Dec 2018.

BK, did you follow the new signed route south from the new West border gate... can you elaborate on the route, was it easy to follow and well-signed for San Felipe? Did it join the older route near the Costco?


I had two sets of instructions PaulW and/or someone had posted, but with a lack of street signs and lots of traffic they weren't too helpful. I did see some signs for San Felipe but I don't recall if I saw one when I turned off the road I was headed south on. You angle out of the border area and onto a three lane road (with a San Felipe sign). Since I didn't know exactly where I was going I was traveling slow and hanging out in the center and right lanes.

When I came to a light at a major intersection I figured I could go east but it was easier to pop into the right lane instead of the left turn lane so I went through and took the next right turn and wound around back to the crossroad. Took another right to head east (I think it was mex2) and went past WalMart and hit Mex5 (another San Felipe sign). It's an awkward intersection to get to the on-ramp so you need to pay attention at that point. I think I did follow the path on one of the instruction sets but I basically winged it knowing I needed to go south then east to find mex5.

One thing I forgot to add in the above note about INM is the entrance is at the north end of the building and the desk is at the north end to the left after you go in. It's a large building with lots of empty space.
