HWY. 5: Mexicali to San Felipe and on to Km. 31.
May 25 & 27, 2013: No Detours, no dirt... In fact all the new style road (wider two lanes with bike path wide shoulders or four lanes with normal
shoulders) is in from Mexicali to San Felipe with just a 3 mile section of original Hwy. 5 beginning at La Ventana, heading south.
The military checkpoint did not inspect us going south or going north today... that's a first in recent history.
Gasoline was 11.05 pesos per liter for Magna (Regular) at San Felipe and 11.36 pesos per liter at Tecate (Border zone). However, using dollars, the
exchange rate at San Felipe was 11.5 pesos per dollar and in Tecate was 11.8 pesos per dollar... This made the price per gallon the same at both:
$3.64 dollars/ gallon. On the U.S. side of the border I passed stations with ranges fro $3.89 to $4.05.
The road south of San Felipe is the same, slow as far as Puertecitos due to sudden steep dips.

We went to San Felipe last weekend. And we got all the way south to were the highway ends near Bahia San Luis Gonzaga. Beautiful scenic road. We loved
it. Can wait to go back.

If you are like me, you make typos or need to fix spelling... so here on Nomad, there is an EDIT button. See it next to the area your message is in?
Just click on it, and you can edit (fix) mistakes, typos, etc. It is the first button straight over from your posting date and time.
When you are done you go down and click the 'Edit Post' button just below. Also, if you want to delete your post, check the ! Delete this
message ! button, then 'Edit Post' button.
If you edit the post more than once, you can remove the edited notices that automatically are added, so only one shows.

Oh now....that's a rarity! Good guys working that station....we always drop off water or/soda to them.
Txs 4 the road info
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
