Hopefully, Baja Bound interprets "holiday season" as by the day after Thanksgiving.

I really, really want a copy before my upcoming trip that commences 12/15. :bounce:

Still no word yet on a release date. So bumping this and the other part of the guide for all to enjoy or utilize.

Edit: the word is by this summer 2020. Baja Bound Insurance will make it an event of sorts. The book formatting, publishing is happening by someone who has done work for Score and knows Baja.

David, Thank you, et al, Awesome resource, I will be consulting it on my return to BAJA after,...... uh....damn, it's been 27years ...I think I still have my dog eared copy of the AAA guide somewhere in a "keepsake" box.
I'll never forget my first view of the Sea of Cortez dropping down into Santa Rosalia... New adventure awaits... Viva Baja!

You are quite welcome.
The guide same from my research trips in 2017 and 2018. All 8 of those trips (numbered #1-#8) are on Nomad's Trip Reports forum. So for the areas of Baja I didn't give a guide preview to, you can read the trip report of. I am also more than happy to answer questions, post maps, kilometer markers, etc.

The guide is being put together for publishing now... I have seen some proposed styles and I am impressed! It will be published for this summer. I will keep updating data to that point and have two trips planned this Spring.

I also welcome input from anyone who as notes about conditions they found different then when I was last down south. My main goal next month is to confirm the new kilometer markers south of Gonzaga Bay.

Nothing much to report, at best the guide will be published when travel bans are lifted and people are buying as much Mexican auto insurance as they used to. Parts 2, 3, 4 of the 6-part road guide are shared for your entertainment. The published version will have updates over these to reflect the paved roads and other changes since 2018. Support Baja Bound Insurance, which supports Baja Nomad. Thank you!

Almost three years have passed since my 2020 comment above.
The Road Guide has been in the hands of a publisher hired by Baja Bound and we all expected it to be available for the Baja Travel Expo last Saturday. Nobody is more disappointed than I, but Baja Bound assures me they want to publish it!

Here is a sample of some pages, with three more in Baja Sur now included, just to give you some more of my work to see the forthcoming guide: https://vivabaja.com/baja-bound-road-guide/
