Agua Verde to Punta Abreojos
Can anyone give me an estimate on driving time between these two? How long does the road take between AV and the highway (gets pretty sketchy, huh?)?
I'm in an '85 F250 diesel 4 speed which tops out @ 55mph, not that I'd want to go any faster.
Thanks again, Nomads!

from the hwy to AV is 25 miles. depending on the road condition I would say it takes about and hour and a half to 2 hours. from the turnoff it is
about 270 miles to abreojos.

its' really hard to do it in a day and the AV road at dark is tough...air down alot...we usually stay in Mulege the first night and go on to Agua
Verde the next day ...we just got back from there and the road is pretty knarly especially after all the semana santa traffic. Also....take lots of
extra deisel in with ya.

Thanks for the replies. I've seen that pic before. Pretty bad. I guess we'll just figure on leaving AV pretty early and staying the night in Mulege.
So....any suggestions on a good hotel in Mulege?

I happen to like the Hotel Mulege - right in town with enclosed secure parking. You can walk just about anyplace you need to visit from this location.

You are right! That's not the road. I posted that pic once before when a question was asked about the road to AV and was about towing a boat. That
road is treacherous for sure. Just a little joke.
