Drove from SF to Hiway 1 on Wed...Bad part was 26 miles, took me two hours on the dot....not any worse than many Baja roads in my opinion, BUT I would
NOT pull any kind of trailer over it, or haul a big camper....My opinion....Its a LONG drive from San Felipe to GN, took me 7 1/2 hours.....No, I did
not see any markers from Cocos, which was deserted, but I wasn't looking, cuz it doesnt make any difference to me.....LOTSA big trucks on hiway 5 as
well.....David K - 2-13-2015 at 02:16 PM
Thanks for your report.
Bad part 26 miles... does that mean unpaved part? I will assume yes.
So, that would mean paving ends 9-10 miles from Gonzaga Pemex per your odometer... or 12-13 miles north of Coco's Corner (which is 13 miles from Hwy.

There will always be road improvements and more paving (sadly) to report on. Just in case you didn't know, I also post other Baja details here too. ;

Air down to ~22 PSI for the dirt. It makes a huge difference. Air back up for pavement to save your tires. There is air at 5 and 1 if you don't
have a compressor.
Air at Hwy 1 (Chapala)

Coming off the long dirt stretch there is a llantera right where you exit.
Nice guys, quick and easy air-up
Check the side panel on the outhouse out back
It is a 4x8 political sign from a long ago Calif Lt. Gov. race.
Pretty cool
