I see something in the lower left corner about 'devistation from hurricane John'? 'conditions', etc? Do you have any further info that can be surmised regarding this? Thanks!

Great photos David. Looking at the 1000 map it appears like they are running from La Purisima east past San Isidro to El Crucerito or maybe even La Esperanza then turning south to Loreto. These ranchos are from the AAA map. I know one section on that road you better be carefull because there's one heck of a drop, like straight down a couple hundred feet.

David K - 10-9-2006 at 08:57 PM

Score mentioned talks (in their bulletin about going to Loreto for the first time) with the owner of Rancho Canipole (on the old road, south of Concepcion Bay, just west of Hwy. 1) about going through his land and using the old road to Loreto or other roads that parallel Hwy. 1.

I believe they should be back any moment from a reconmission down south. The final word should be out in a few days as to how much of that lower section will be kept.....if not all of it.
We'll see.

"Current" race course just north coming into Loreto, but as Westy says the "jury is still out" on the final cousre.
Map at show stated that lower section of course is under repairs, and is subject to changes.
SCORE is in Baja Sur this week, looking at how things have come along, with pre-running begining this coming weekend.
