Cuesta La Vibora, from space!


Getting back to Baja (isn't THAT what we are here for?), I went to the Google satellite images and found the road a bunch of us Nomads drove on when we were in El Rosario a couple weeks ago.

This (if it linked good) is the hairpin turn at the top of the steepest part (where I moved some rocks)... 'Hook' got the driver of the day award for getting his camper through, 'frigatebird', 'Santiago', 'BajaNomad', 'Bob H', 'TheSquarecircle', 'Surfer Jim' also made it up La Vibora with no problem.

For those who were not with us:
This road starts at the south end of the Rosario bridge, heads up the river valley, past the cardonal (Arroyo San Juan de Dios junction)


La Vibora Grade east of El Rosario bridge

That is great. That hairpin turn at the top, turning right, in my truck you cannot see anything but sky. The longbed is a bit too much for that turn and I had to back up and wiggle myself back and forth to make it safely. A great trek indeed. Looking back at Hook coming up tha grade in his Lance cabover was fantastic.
