Hghy 5


We all know to NEVER pass a gasoline station - right? Well it you hit Mex 5 a bit north of San Felipe, you might wonder - go back South to San Felipe and gas up or catch the next station to the north. You might (or might not) know that 3 poles Pemex is no longer a supplier of fuel. Also La Ventana is no longer a Pemex station with fuel. So if you were counting on either of these you're out of luck. El Faro/La Puerta area is the first Pemex.

Also seems like increased speed enforcement by PFP (Federal hbighway patrol). I was stopped a couple weeks ago by one that I met that turned around and caught/stopped me. Just a warning but the car with Mex places behind me looked like they were getting a ticked. Also, yesterday saw the same situation, a partolman turning aound ahead of me and gatching/stopping a pickup.
Soooooo I suggest keeping a eye on the speed. (I'm going to try) Will see how I do tomorrow.

Let me just add, the new Pemex in Valle de Trinidad is open and has diesel as well as regular - no premium. Also nice luncheria next door.

:biggrin:

Mucho mas problemas con PDF on the highway between TS and Cabo. They seem to be in much stricter speed and driving with open container enforcment mode. 10 years ago I Never saw a cop on that highway, now there are multiple patrol cars going back and forth all day. It seemed to really pick up after the asian pacific summit a few years back.
