dirt road conditions at & around Punta Rosarito?

Has anyone returned from Punta Rosarito ("the Wall") or one of the other "Seven Sisters" since the rains? We are leaving on 3/3 and would love some timely info. Here's the most recent story I got:

Redondo guys returned on 2/21 with great news about being stuck up to the doors in one of the new quicksand bogs. Tales of standing water and blown-in sand making access nutty.

Anyone have a better story from a more recent trip? It's good to know if we'll be pulling up to a bog.

Thou shalt not mention the name of the Seven Sisters, lest thou suffer the wrath of the Sacred Saints of the Secret Spots.:saint:
:biggrin:

Seriously though, I've been wondering the same thing lately.

"Lots o' water in them thar arroyo's".

If you listen to the advice of the 4-S's, they'd say: "Tis far too dangerous. Don't try it. You'll never get out alive." That kind of B.S. (just to keep you from going).

I say give it go! The worst thing is you get stuck and have to dig out (but if you're smart, you'd stop just before you get to that point).
(Disclaimer: I am NOT claiming to be that smart! :biggrin:)

Anyway, in answer to your question, I have no timely info for you. Just the sense that experience tells me you will be in for an adventure. Enjoy it!

We're on our way tonight - we'll report in upon return. Either that, or we'll be living in a mud hut.

Enjoy your trip!
Definetly let us know about it when you get back. I'll be headed down that direction in a couple of weeks, so I'd love a current report.

Just returned from the fun late last night. 5 days of great weather and plenty of waves. Sounds like my pals had to withstand 2 days of rain and 40 mph+ south winds in the Feb storm. Messed up all the roads for a week.

Everything is so green down there it's ridiculous.


All we got was sun, good wind (2 days were a little spring-breezy) and more waves than we could shake a stick at. Roads were perfect.
