Highway 1
Okay, so how many of you have actually driven the horrendous stretch and are past San Quentin? By the way, I would suggest that the women make sure
they have their bras on when traveling this stretch!!!

You really do need to move on with this thing about the road. Maybe try Canada for the winter this year.

How fast are you driving on those dirt stretches? We go back and forth every month or so and we think they are doing a pretty good job of keeping
the detours in good shape.
I do think some of the big equipment hanging over the top of the detour roads are quite scary as they seem to be hanging on the edge by one track as
one drives under them, and the flag men are definitely a challenge in signal interpretation.
But the road beds are not too bad---at least we don't think so.

We made it through a few weeks ago without any problem in our overloaded Camry. We did keep our heads low to avoid the bullets and the doors locked to
keep from getting kidnapped though.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Good point! It is so hard to patch all the bullet holes in my Tacoma after every trip! Baja is still worth it!

Have you even been down the Baja? In the 80's and 90's the road was a giant pot hole.
this road is so good it is like driving the 5.
Baja is an adventure, live the adventure. This is the 3 time you have asked the same question.
Many have answered and told you the same the road is great. Just think when it is all done. It is gonna be great.
Take your time, don't be in a hurry as most that live here are. Don't drive at night and either come south and see what we have to offer or sit in
Ensenada and think about what your gonna miss.
enjoy the ride. it is Baja

1993 road construction (Chapala)
Back in the olden' days, we didn't have no stinkin' detours. We didn't need no stinkin' detours. We just followed the construction equipment. And they
followed us. Simply jumped in the conga line. You should consider yourself lucky to have a special dirt track.   Somewhat S/o of the LA Bay junction.

Time is running with repair work on Hwy 1 and with all the new bridges less washouts should occur in the rainy times. The roads are and will continue
to get better. Who knows at some time in the future maybe a toll road will be completed all the way down, never say never and yes I know many do not
want a toll road. However,I bet you would use it if it is not too expensive,LOL> Take Care & Travel Safe "No Hurry, No Worry, Just
