CUIDADO CON EL VADO!

This past Saturday I made a qick trip to Ensenada and drove my usual way: Cross at Otay Mesa, partially travel the toll road to the Blvd 2000 turn-off.
HOWEVER...on the transition from the toll road to the two lanes where the Blvd 2000 starts, there is a vado...a two lane wide vado (large dip on the road) and approximately 16" wide and about 10" deep.
After four trips to Baja in recent weeks, the vado keeps getting worse.
The only way around it is to drive either to the left or the right of the BLVD 2000 entrance and avoid the huge dip. It will damage your vehicle if it is hit at speeds over 5 mph!:O

Sounds like a couple south of San Felipe!

There are two 'Oh Sh&% Dips' painted on Hwy. 5 between San Felipe and Puertecitos and a few more that are not yet marked... Just keep the speed below 50 and you will be able to brake soon enough before one is upon you!

Thanks for the heads up UDO!

I thought that they would have been fixed by now, but keep getting worse every day.
I'll send another report in two weeks. This vado can do some serious damage to your vehicle!
