I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Let’s hope so.

I prefer hwy 5 over hwy 1, and hope there is always enough rough road to keep it less traveled!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

If you think that is a rough stretch of road you have no business going to Baja.
What you said about water and heat could be said about any road, paved or not.
Ppl who shouldn't travel in Baja should not be giving advice to the op.
Jizzers, you might recall that a young lady perished on that road not too long ago, so I am not speaking from ignorance, only adding a word of caution
to the unprepared. Its not a freeway in the San Fernando Valley. As for me, well, I can drive it in my sleep in a 2WD pickup without letting the air
out of the tires, no need for that unless you have insecurity issues.

What is going on, is holdups. Has been known to happen in secluded areas of this stretch after sunset. Unfinished construction with
pieces of equipment and rough terrain are perfect for ambush. But I am puzzled, as 4 hours is a bit long for a holdup  . They usually work in more expedited manner.

Hwy. 5 is busy, even the dirt part. It would be a terrible place to commit a crime... hundreds of miles from a city... where would they hide as they
surely don't drive off-road vehicles!??
Shari, you really could do us a favor and get better details from your guests... and that is before the pitahaya margaritas are served!

I towed my boat over it a month or so ago went slow as hell and still shook the crap out of my boat and trailer but it was in better condition then
from San Felipe to Gonzaga. I've been driving the 5 to Chapala or vice versa for years back when it was dirt all the way from Puertecitos to
Chapala and the pavement north of Puertecitos had car swallowing potholes. Never did I think my life was in danger. I drove from Mexicali to La Paz
right the day after the first Hurricane last year and back during the second Hurricane and never thought my life was in danger.
Baja is an adventure, Always that's why I go there
