The road to San Ignacio Lagoon? Paved? Graded?

whales

Anybody know of a good dentist in San Ignacio????

Can someone please translate this?

Thanks Udo! Awesome advice. Last time we were there it was the end of the season, so a lot quieter. We did spend the night in a little cabin and it was perfect. Can't recall the name of the operation but the daughter, (Ruby?), was a real sweetheart.

Pescador - translation: "I'm cranky".

Ah, then a second piece of advice

Washboard roads are either 10 mph and teeth jarring,
or, get it up around 60 mph and it is smooth sailing.

Of course, there are certain inherent hazards in option #2.
Such as the time spent between 10 mph and 60 mph,
both in the ascending, and the descending.
and, some Baja curves tend to be quite difficult to navigate in a stock vehicle at 60 mph, especially a hard and washboard surface.
But, then again, that is where the fun begins....

And, San Ignacio whale experience is just over the top
Echo all the above and then some
well worth the rocky road.

(still trying to not be snitty)

You are succeeding in the non-snitty-ness.

Yeah, "Six or sixty" as we like to say. There have been exceptions to that, though. Before the road to Punta Abreojos was paved? We actually vibrated all the screws in our camper door so much that it fell off...in the middle of the "worst sand storm in 12 years".

Learned some new words from hubby on that day!

We are off-road veterans and, believe me, the last time we took that road it automatically made it into our Top Three Worst Roads - and that was in a skookum off-road ride. If it's better now...huzzah! I should also mention that despite the "Baja Junior" rating, we've spent many years down south. Just been busy visiting other countries in the last 6 years. We're also both former professional stunt performers, so we know all about tire pressure. Whew, next time I should just post our CV's, right? -Kristene Quote: Originally posted by thebajarunner At the risk of sounding snitty (hope not) That road, by Baja standards, is not such a bad road. Just air down, take it easy over the wash board, put one set of wheels up on the berm (watch for 'sidewall biting rocks') Lean back Take your time have cool Negras on hand Piece of cake...

Well then, a bit of washboard shouldn't be a problem.

Navigating this forum is requires a bit of "tuck and roll" as well as a few layers of Nomex.

Have fun with the whales and let someone else shake their vehicle apart on that road.

Last time I was on it was two years ago on a 690 KTM ....riding with a broken fibula thanks to a silt bed halfway up from San Juanico....so I kept the throttle open until back at Ricardo's despite the road being horrible....even with bike suspension, it was merciless.

Yeah, I think those are good words for every Internet forum (there's always one - sometimes more than one). No worries, it takes more than one windbag to bruise my feelings.

And...OW! That ride sounds horrific! Hope there was an ice cold cerveza waiting, after you got out of the hospital, that is.

No worries! I usually try to make sure I sign my posts so that people know I am Mrs.Club Fred

It works in reverse too. Fred plays poker online now and then, under a non-gender-specific name, and he uses a photo of me (with my first wahoo) as his avatar. The other male players often hit on him!
