to Bill P. Thanks for the recommendation of San Ignacio vs GN. We had a friend who camped at and was happy with Malarrimo Hotel and Rv in GN so we had planned to give it a try. We also remember San Ignacio as a neat little town. You now have us thinking that San Ignacio may be a better choice. Thanks for responding. To J Downing- thanks for the heads up on gas and shoulder issues. We have a 85 gallon gas tank but no sense in taking any chances. We will gas up often and we will watch the shoulders!! Thanks again. Ron

BS....there are buses going both ways today...i just got to mulege...there is no problem...at all

absinvestor - 1-28-2010 at 08:56 PM

to Des and Marla- thanks for the heads up. Also i got your u2u message but did not know how to reply. Thanks for the great info. What is the best way for us to find out when the ABC buses are running? Thanks again. Ron and Patty

to MulegeMichael- now I am confused. We just returned from a trip to Alaska and encountered some tough roads in the Yukon and a steep logging road to a glacier in Hyde Alaska so bad roads are not new to me. However, the post from DesMarla has me guessing in part because I don't want to beat up a motorhome if a few days wait will improve the road. Any idea why your impression of the road is so much different? Thanks a million for everybodies valuable input. Ron and Patty

Is the road passable by A Harley Davidson

tracyduke - 1-28-2010 at 09:47 PM

First I'd like to introduce myself as a newbie on this site.
I'm from Tracy Ca and some of us were headed down to LaPaz later this week on our Harleys. From what I hear the road is a mess. Any comments about weather we can drive our 900 pound Harley baggers through the detours?

Thanks

We haven't been to Loreto in almost 10 years and it will be good to see it again. Thanks a million. Ron and Patty

Suggestion - From Tacate, you can take the toll road West toward TJ and then take BLVD 2000 south to Rosarito, then HWY 1 to Ensenada. Although the wine road is prettier, the road is narrow - typical Baja two-lane. BLVD 2000 is a wide, divided hwy. Time & distance is comparable.

We have found that Sunday is the best day to travel northern Baja - at least through to El Rosario - in our opinion. Less traffic southbound, little if any, farm equipment on the roads around San Quintin and the road construction/repair crews have the day off, in general.

However, the road construction/repair part may not hold true under the current circumstances.

We too have no time constraints. We plan to head down to Loreto Sunday Feb 7th driving an Expedition towing a 5x8 utility trailer. We were originally going to leave this coming Sunday Jan 31st but decided to give things time to settle out a bit more..........just because.

With current road reports of the busses running, we are sure the road would be no problem for us - detours and all - but we are in no rush. We've been making this trip for 20 some years and have found that once traffic starts moving again, it is best to give it another week - if timing allows.

Watch the shoulders!!!! You'll love Loreto!!! We do.

Chris

mulegemichael - 1-29-2010 at 08:20 AM

i'll say this one more time: THE BUSES ARE RUNNING!!!...i don't know why folks are saying they aren't but i was almost blown off the road several times yesterday by them so i know it's true...i was also passed by many many motorcycles headed north so yeah, a bike can make it easily...just pay attention and you won't have ANY problems

Tracyduke...

A friend of mine once took their Harleys down Baja and pulled over at a stop where there was another guy with a Harley broke down. My friend told me the guy shreded his drive belt and didn't have a spare! It seems some small rocks get caught up in the drive belt pulleys and proceed to tear up the belt. When my friend and her partners got back to San Diego and checked their drive belts they too had some damage to the belts but were still functioning. So my question to you is...do you carry xtra drive belts? and can you replace them in the field? Also do you have a chase truck accompany you in case of a breakdown ? I know some of those big motorcycles are difficult to replace the drivebelts without major disassembly of parts. Thanks

tripledigitken - 1-29-2010 at 09:04 AM

Michael,

Were they Harley Type road bikes or Enduro/Dirt bikes?

(bright colors vs black leather vests and chrome helmets) :lol:

Seriously some lighter bikes would have little difficulty crossing some of those detours while trying it on a big road bike could be a whole nother story. I speak from experience having rode my Yamaha 1300 in and out of Chivato.

Ken

absinvestor - 1-29-2010 at 09:37 AM

to Chris- thanks for the info. We will take your advice. Initially we had thought that a weekday would be better than a weekend (due to tourist traffic) but your comments about farm equipment etc makes total sense. When we lived in Punta Banda the roads were always busier on weekdays. We are enjoying ourselves in this campground so will probably do the same and just hangout till a week from this Sunday. (Hey, with the superbowl playing you and I may be the only ones on the road!!) To MulegeMike- thanks for the response. I've watched your helpful comments since becoming a member of this board and they are always helpful and insightful. Thanks again to everybody for the input. We'll be heading down on Sunday Feb 7th. Ron and Patty

desandmarla - 1-29-2010 at 09:41 AM

Perhaps the reason our opinions differ is the vehicles we drive. I am just expressing my opinion that our 39' Class A Diesel Pusher would not have made it over the El Rosario transition. I did drive our 4x4 with our camper on it and it was very chewed up from the 2 wheel drive vehicles trying to get up it. In Vicente Guerrero at Posado Don Diego, Bob a fellow camper told us a green Eco Tour bus took three tries at getting up the hill and the fourth try he went way back gunned it and basically flew up over and onto the road. Also, one good thing about Mallarimo's is the owner Enrique. We were stuck there for five days waiting for the roads to open and he was wonderful so keep in mind it's not only a good place to stop but has good food and good resources. As far as a motorcycle goes, you better be ready to be covered from head to toe in mud. But you won't have any problems traveling.

ABC Buses

desandmarla - 1-29-2010 at 09:43 AM

I just called ABC Bus station in Ensenada and the buses are now running from TJ to Cabo.

fuelpusher2 - 1-29-2010 at 10:31 AM

To Ron & Patty,

We'll be at Mallarimo in GN for Super Bowl (Feb 7th - that's usual for us - then on to Loreto/Tripui the next day.

Road condition reports are relative. Take it all with a grain/pound of salt.
What is a good road for one guy and what he is driving, may not be good for the next guy and what he is driving. Skill and traction also play a role.

As I said before, once traffic starts moving again, it is a good rule of thumb to give it another week. I stand by that.

fuelpusher2 - 1-29-2010 at 11:53 AM

Sorry..........I stand corrected.

absinvestor - 1-29-2010 at 11:55 AM

Thanks again to all.To Des and Marla- your input on the larger rigs is appreciated. Hope you're enjoying Punta Banda. PB was our home for 2 yrs in the early 90's. Many of our old neighbors moved after the ejido lost the law suit but some stayed. We only have fond memories of the place. To fuelpusher2 your info is much appreciated and understood. Looks like mallarimo's is the place to camp and eat!! We'll do both Malarrimo's and San Ignacio along with several other stops in route to Loreto, La Paz and Todo Santos. Safe travels to all. Ron and Patty

absinvestor - 1-29-2010 at 11:58 AM

Sorry, forgot to ask in an earlier post. Is Rice and Beans the best place to camp in San Ignacio? Ron

Rice and Beans

desandmarla - 1-29-2010 at 12:40 PM

There are some other campgrounds in San Ignacio but we prefer it for it's ease of getting into it and Ricardo the owner is very helpful and friendly. We had some friends last year who got four flat tires on the road out to the lagoon to go whale watching and he drove them in his car all the way to Guerrero Negro to get four new tires just because they were camped in his campground. We do two caravans down Baja every year and this is our favorite for whale watching. So if you have time you can book it with Ricardo and he takes you out in his van. Safe travels, Marla.

irenemm - 1-29-2010 at 12:48 PM

Posada Don Diego will have the super bowl on the big screen stop and enjoy it.

jdowning - 1-29-2010 at 01:38 PM

San Ignacio:
We have stayed many times in San Ignacio and always at Rice & Beans. It is convenient and has full hookups for dumping tanks etc. Restaurant isn't too bad either. Owners are helpful and friendly. We looked at the others and thought R&B better met our needs. Only drawback is noise as it is right next to the highway. But traffic is rare after dark so not too bad. You make a hard 180 degree turn off the highway at the sign and drive down the road less than a mile. Entry looks difficult the first time in but there is a lot of room up there to turn around etc.

We did our whale watching trip at S.Ignacio lagoon and it was fantastic. But if you have a dirt roadworthy toad I would drive it. Those vans are miserable on that road (or were). It is a good road for higher clearance vehicles and has gotten even better from what I have heard. We rented a tent and stayed two nights sleeping on cots. Had a great time. Petted whales, honest!

Oh, no apology needed! That is one of the most often mis-spelled Baja place names... I am well known here for popping in to provide the right spelling for 'Baja educational purposes only'!

I never correct English spelling errors as those are way too easy to make... Heck, just yesterday I had one typo: wull instead of will, one wrong word: bazaar instead of bizarre, and one mis-spelled word: gaurd instead of guard... and all three in the SAME post!!! LOL :lol:

The most often mis-spelled Baja places seem to be:

Guerrero Negro, Malarrimo, Puertecitos, Los Barriles, San Quintin, Santa Rosalillita, San Vicente, Santo Tomas, Alfonsina's, Loreto, Mulege, Ensenada, Tecate, San Felipe, Tijuana, Bahia Concepcion, Ciudad Constitucion, La Purisima... to name a few! :light:

Didn't you see the updates already posted? The highway is open now to all traffic.

Maybe you need some more storm photos to be happy?

Here are some sent to me yesterday by Baja Cactus and another friend from El Rosario from during the storm of a week ago:

Have a great trip!

Binger - 1-31-2010 at 09:30 PM

Ok, back again. A few observations. We passed at least 2 large RV's with cars in tow. They did fine. I see no problem with towing anything right now. Saw tons of buses on the road, going north and south.

So right now, go for it. No problems except for a few bridge delays near San Quentin and finding a bank that is open.

No cattle in roads, just saw a few along the edge but saw no incidents.

irenemm - 1-31-2010 at 09:34 PM

banks are closed on sunday and will be closed tomorrow too. Holiday and it is san quintin/ san quentin is a prison

Trueheart - 2-1-2010 at 01:40 PM

I'm a newbie to this site. I am both amazed and appreciative at all the information, pics and video provided. Thank you to all who take the time to do this for others.

I will be traveling down Baja 1 around 2/11. I have traveled this before to Mulege three times, so I'm familar with it some, but never with road complications like those that exist right now. In the past, I have stayed at Baja Cactus in El Rosario as my overnight stay on the way down and up.

Under the present circumstances, I am wondering if my normal one night stay will work, as I am concerned about the delay in driving time due to the many repairs and alternate routes for bridge bypasses that will come into play. I'd like to hear anyone's comments about travel time that might help me in planning.

Kudos to all the people who have responded so quickly to dealing with a natural disaster and difficult road situation. It's impressive!

Thank you,

Steve

Bajahowodd - 2-1-2010 at 01:50 PM

Obviously, you cannot drive as fast over bypass roads as you can on a bridge. So, in the best of circumstances, there will be a certain amount of delay. If planning to stay at Baja Cactus, it would appear that you will encounter only one collapsed bridge as you exit town. So, if you add an hour or two, just in case, to get to El Rosario, I would guess you will have no problem making Mulege in two days.

jdowning - 2-3-2010 at 09:30 AM

One other aspect of your drive I haven't heard anyone else address: I would think that besides the major bridges almost every vado from TJ to GN will have some damage. Even if not damaged you certainly wouldn't want to be cruising through the vados as you normally would just in case.

IMHO: this drive is going to take longer due to smaller washouts, damaged road, and eroded shoulders. Speeds and driving times will be affected and not just at the major bridge crossings.

BTW: We decided to vacation in San Carlos, Sonora instead of Baja this year. Guess what? It's been raining since yesterday and we are 'trapped' on the sandy beach by the mud and huge pools of water behind the sand. Well, not trapped, but pleasantly temporarily detained.

Siesta anyone?

Have a safe and fun trip where ever your destination.

toneart - 2-3-2010 at 10:02 AM

I arrived in Mulege yesterday. The road presented no problems. The two bridge bypasses were dry and compact. They took less than three or four minutes to get through. There are some potholes at the bottom of some vados but very little water. The road surface from Catavina south to Jesus Maria was a little rough. Nothing bad to slow you down much. Just keep an eye out for potholes.

The Baja Cactus in El Rosario was wonderful, as usual. It is my dog Paco's favorite place too! Thank you Antonio for building and running such a classy hotel.

Last night we had torrential rains in Mulege. That NEVER happens this time of year. We are supposed to get more today and then it will clear up.

So, all bets are off regarding my road report. Keep a close eye on the weather and hopefully travelling Nomads will keep this thread updated daily. Those bypasses are, afterall, in riverbeds. Rivers???Hell, I am an expert on rivers!

Take it easy and stay safe.

David K - 2-3-2010 at 10:23 AM

Thank you!

Trueheart - 2-3-2010 at 10:37 AM

Toneart:

Yep, I am interested in not only the bridge conditions (which seem to be manageable now) but also the conditions of the road in the vados as well as road narrowing due to sluffing off at the shoulder. The pothole situation in particluar, see any concentrated areas that might be alignment altering? Bad stretches?

I'll be pulling a utility trailer this time, so I'll be going slower than usual.

Thanks for the info.

Steve

mulegemichael - 2-3-2010 at 02:44 PM

Steve,
I covered that in my post too. To repeat: There are occasional potholes at the bottom of some vados but very little water in them, so you can usually see them. I was pulling a boat and had no trouble. Just be aware, slow down while approaching vados and you will be alright.

However, I also said that my whole report could change since I passed through on Sunday and Monday. Look for updated reports from Nomads who have come through after me. It has been raining. I don't know how that has affected the roads. I can tell you that it has been pouring here in Mulege and causing the streets to become mini rivers for the time the torrents let loose. The Orchard is a mud hole. The river wasn't affected though.

For the time that I have been coming here I have never seen it rain like this in this time of year.

Today is sunny though. Yeah!

Mexitron - 2-4-2010 at 11:39 AM

Wow...still amazed at the amount of water going under Puente Colonet...that would be the Rio San Rafael.......now I understand how the enormous sand benches are created upstream near Mike's Sky Ranch. Thanks for posting some more photos David.

vandenberg - 2-7-2010 at 10:11 AM

Will be coming through Tecate this coming Wednesday on the way to Loreto, driving a loaded down Camry.
Any update on current road conditions will be highly appreciated.

boe4fun - 2-7-2010 at 11:18 AM

Got back in the US on Friday PM from Bahia Asuncion. The road is in good condition, with the usual potholes here and there. The bridge at El Rosario is not passable and you'll have to drive through the riverbed, it's graded and is hardpacked and presented no problem for our 25' 5th wheel. The bridge at San Vicente has been filled with dirt/rocks at the south end and is graded for a very short distance, about 25 meters, so you'll need to slow down a bit. A few of the vados along the way have deteriorated the blacktop and created some potholes, so if you see water crossing the road slow down and maybe save a blowout or bent axel. Feliz Viaje.

fuelpusher2 - 2-9-2010 at 06:28 PM

San Diego to Loreto - Sunday Feb 7-8th

Crossed @ Otay (5:30am) - spent 30 in with Mex Customs. Expedition loaded & towing a 5x8 utility trailer about half full of household supplies for a 5 month stay - no duty charged - very pleasent experience.

It had rained in San Diego Fri & Sat - roads were still wet Sunday morning but not raining. Took Blvd 2000 to Rosarito Beach. No southbound on-ramp to access HWY 1. Had to stay on the Free Road - the dirtiest part of the trip - all the way from Rosarito Beach to Cantamar due to road construction.

North end of San Vincente Bridge approach is repaired but slow down. Vincente Guererro Bridge is damaged and you cross in the riverbottom - very passable for all vehicles.

The north end of the El Rosario bridge approach was being repaired so traffic was routed down through the river bed. It was smooth & dry. No delays, just slow down when crossing.

There was a trickle of water in vados both north & South of Catavina. Slow down as it is a bit rough.

All this may be mute with the next set of storms due to hit tonight - Feb 8th-9th.

BajaInMyFuture - 2-13-2010 at 02:29 PM

As of today (2/13/10) is there any more news on the road conditions from TJ to La Paz via Hwy 1???

Thx for any and all responses,

ADV Randy

tommybahama - 2-13-2010 at 11:44 PM

We drove up from Loreto to San Diego beginning around 1:00PM Friday, stopping in Catavina for the night (see below about the hotels in GN where we intended to stop), then the rest of the way to San Diego today (2/13/10). The only road conditions different from what is posted above is there are more COWS nibbling on the new grass alongside the road than in years past...so watch for them! :yes:

Also, beware of "full" hotels in the whale-watching towns such as Guerrero Negro....no reservation, no room!

vandenberg - 2-14-2010 at 09:40 AM

Came through San Quintin last Thursday night and found all the motels on the highway full. Went to our old standby Los Cirios, a couple of blocks east of the highway, on the street between Villas de SQ and Maria Celeste, and lots of rooms left there. Nothing fancy but adequate for an overnighter.
Also, found the road from Tecate to Loreto in remarkable good shape considering the storms of late. Even the washed out bridges's bypasses and repaired sections were easy to negotiate. With a very low clearance sedan, I may add.

BajaInMyFuture - 2-14-2010 at 04:15 PM

Great news on the road and lodging reports.

Thx a ton folks, keep it coming!!!!! Due to cross next Saturday the 20th at at TJ headed to Loreto!!!!!!!

LYM - 2-27-2010 at 08:01 AM

David K - 2-27-2010 at 10:12 AM

Its pouring pretty hard today (Saturday) about 50 miles north of the border...

DENNIS - 2-27-2010 at 11:36 AM

Rained pretty hard here for about an hour. It's stopped now, but I don't think it's over. My house is maybe 500 feet in the air and I'm in a cloud.

Bob and Susan - 2-27-2010 at 11:39 AM

last week from ensenada to tecate there still is 10 miles of dirt
i'd avoid this if it's raining

from tj to ensenada the toll road is kinda bumpy during the first toll
after that on the next two tolls... all new paving

it was drizzely..not bad

the two damaged bridges are easy to pass
lots of trucks and cars everyday

when driving on the bridge at el rosario going north
it looks like quite a drop off
its fine just go slow

no problems either way

rts551 - 2-27-2010 at 02:38 PM

Not bad. Just watch the road edges. some got washed out but they are repairing them quickly.

Bridges in the North

There has been more rain, so there will probably be more mud, but they seem to be on top of it quickly.

There have been no problems reported on the repair areas along the highway, apparently last weekend rains had no impact. This is a copy from an e-mail I just received from a friend... he drove from Guerrero Negro to San Diego yesterday afternoon (March 8th, 2010):

Quote:

Dear Antonio:

It was good to talk to you for a few minutes.

1. The road from El Rosario to Tijuana is fine. Only the bridges in El Rosario and Colonia Guerrero are still being worked on. We encountered no problems. San Quintin is fine.

2. I have rarely seen Baja so green. It was wonderful. This should be a good year for anyone with animals and growing crops.

Please give my best regards to your wife and daughter and also your father. My friend Juan was very impressed by your hotel.

Regards,

Andy

I hope this info is useful my friends.

Do you know if they have fixed the road in the hills south of El Rosario? There was one very bad spot on a large curve where the dirt had been washed away from under the road. The road was still there, but they were using only one lane last week.

They had heavy equipment that looked like it was trying to move the dirt back up the hill.

Thanks---

As of April 18 ... "the Free Road - the dirtiest part of the trip - all the way from Rosarito Beach to Cantamar due to road construction." it is beautiful 4-land concrete & 2-lane asphalt. WOW! See below.

Went as far south as San Ignacio. Got back Yesterday. Road is good except in only a couple of short sections, I forget where but no problem. Many places it's the new wider lanes. El Rosario and I think it was Vincente Guerrero bridges still out. They've paved the river bed crossing at El Rosario. They've also paved about 8-10 miles out of San Ignacio toward Laguna San Ignacio and working on more.
