Any recent reports of damaged, or repaired roads?
The "Kay" thread is getting a bit much to wade through to find road reports, so I am asking here about the road between Bahia De Los Angeles and El
Arco. Anyone drive it lately, or have a first hand report from a reliable source?
Rough, but passable is all right with me. Any other interesting road sections to beware of? Please don't send me to any Facebook groups that require
signing up to see them.

I have been posting reports and photos on road repairs on my VivaBaja group page. I haven't seen anything on the drive between L.A. Bay and El Arco,
yet. If I do, I will let you know!

David, some of us would prefer not to increase our digital footprint, but for those followers of your group that don't mind, why not ask them to post
their info and pictures here?
I will be driving the peninsula next week, and they will be able to see my road reports (assuming I find something new to add to others)

Hmmm... well, almost everyone in Baja is on Facebook or has a Facebook group. Asking them to post twice for the handful of Nomads who won't look at
Facebook might be a stretch... but I will ask them.
A large % are Spanish speakers, too and Nomad is an English language site. Facebook has an automatic translator plus Facebook allows photo posting, no
matter the size of the image, as it automatically makes it fit on Facebook. Everything regarding the hurricane I share on my VivaBaja group is either
photos or videos. So, almost none of them will appear here without work.
For the record, I prefer a forum like Nomad over Facebook. More people are on Facebook, so I am on both to gather and share the most Baja subjects
that I find interesting.
Have you tried looking at my Facebook groups, without joining Facebook?
The links to both groups (Baja Missions and VivaBaja) are in my signature below every post.

You can visit FB Vivabaja without an FB act since its public and you can search it too... https://web.facebook.com/groups/vivabaja?

Thank you for that, gnu!
I did post the request to also share Baja road conditions here on Nomad, too.
Of course, they do have to become Nomads, and figure how to add photos or videos.
YouTube videos are easy here... Facebook hosted videos are not.. unless Doug can provide a trick method to do so! (Key work is TRICK,  )

Cabo to Tecate thru San Felipe
Just rolled in from my most recent run. I would post a very detailed report but then I get a bunch of hate mail from goat and others but since this
site was the first one I every used to use I thought I'd give a little love back.
First a job well done to the Mexican governments and military it's open and Hurricane Kay hit Baja HARD. perhaps got more of the peninsula then Odile
did in 2016.
Starting before Loreto to San Felipe be on your game as there is a lot of chit out there parts of the road washed out going down to suddenly 1 and 1/2
lanes with as the road crews do marked only with a couple of orange donkey dicks (long orange cylinders). Rocks are still falling down from the road
cuts and cliffs. It's totally makeable but all you who drive the Baja record setters out there give the Mexicans some time to fix their road as it is
F'ed up. It will be a few months before it is the Baja "pristine".
Surfers: the Seven sisters could be a mess but I did see a Lobster fisherman stopped at the lower entrance thinking about heading out. Don't know if
he went.

No hate from me....You are posting exactly what I was hoping for, current conditions. I hope to drive the road I asked about this
next week, so I asked about it specifically.
If I don't hear anything by the time I get there, I will check it out and report back. Thanks for your input!

AkGringo,
looking down the road to LA Bay it looked real muddy, so be ready for mud that hopefully has changed to dry dirt. The gasolina venders were at the
Hwy 1/LA Bay Junction.
Also You are mucho correcto on hotels taking reservation when there isn't a room, they did it to our friend that was traveling north behind us last
night.

It says I must log in to view that link.
I made a decision to close my Facebook account down after realizing that company is an immoral piece of crap.

Out of morbid curiosity, I just checked and I'm able to view it without logging in to Facebook.
Not that I'd want to. Facebook is too... manipulative for my tastes.
Besides, the user interface absolutely sucks. I don't understand why people find it so seductive.  |
Do you have an account? If so, perhaps a cookie is enabling access.

I was able to view that link, and I have never set up even a temporary account (if there is such a thing).

Maybe a cookie is allowing some people access.....I used to have an account and it seems some pages used to allow me to view even after I closed my
account. But that link, as well as many I've clicked on over the last few months take me to the login page and says YOU MUST LOG IN TO CONTINUE.
Oh well........
