Trip report San Diego to La Paz


Took 3 days driving down to La Paz. Left Monday AM. No one wanted to see our "stuff", just waved us on, even in San Ysidro. Only one military stop wanted me out, just took a photo of me, then the front license plate using a smart phone. This was outside San Ignacio where they used to have computers. No longer recording name and plates number on a piece of paper. Road has potholes in Baja Norte (like the old days), but perfect in Baja Sur. 5 miles or detour outside of La Paz. Constitution police were uninterested in us. Military outside La Paz thanked us for coming down. Not crowded, rarely saw car from the States on the highway. La Paz is same as usual, friendly folks, little evidence of hurricane. Boat in Marina de la Paz had no damage, Mexican flag a bit beat up.

Better roads in Baja Sur has been the standard for many years. It has baffled me that up North, a repaving project that causes major delays turns into potholes almost instantly. I'm thinking government corruption.
