Yes, but......

That looks terrible Neal!
A friend of my sister's did a similar thing on that coast road; he thought it would be "fun" to drive off the road and onto the nice flat salt
flat.... Luckily he stopped and waited to get pulled out and dig not dig
himself a hole quite that deep.
Of course I got stuck while driving my sisters Pathfinder through a particularly deep section of polvo on that road. I think she is still getting the
dust out, 5-6 years later. My excuse was: "My Tacoma would have easily made it through that...."
Moral of the story: When I first explored this section of the coast with my parents back in the early 1980’s the only people we say were in the fish
camps or on pangas, rarely ever another moving vehicle. Now this section of Baja is seeing more traffic, but there are still dangers, so be prepared.David K - 8-6-2008 at 07:46 AM
We saw no other vehicles driving the 200 mile road or gringos, last year.
It appeals to surfers seeking remote breaks, and there weren't any of those that we saw... COLD, FOGGY... in July.bajamikey - 8-6-2008 at 11:51 AM

What a great adventure. Often wondered about a sea route down that coast. Is there any way to get a better view of that map? Thanks for the great
pictures.David K - 8-6-2008 at 01:21 PM

That is just the AAA map with our route highlighted... I recommend having both the AAA map and a Baja Almanac with a GPS if you want to explore the
area. The road log I provided will get you through, map or no map... it's in the web page.David K - 8-6-2008 at 01:53 PM

Yea, that area of the coastline is mostly winter breaks. Punta Canoas is one of those mysto spots that is an adventure to get to, as you all have
shared. Here's a website I found with more pictures and info on Punta Canoas. http://mercy.smugmug.com/
