Going through our old pics... Mulegé from the hotel lot.
This one is from 1972 (November) when my dad and two other dentists drove to the tip in his 4x4 Suburban. Pavement ending in San Felipe and began again at Santa Rosalía. :

David K - Thanks. Looks like a cool rig. There were a lot more palm trees.

I think the last '50-year' flash flood was in 1959? So, lots of palms in 1972.

My dad loved the size of the Suburban for carrying gear! Sadly, that Chevy engine was defective and they refused to warrantee the problem. He owned it for just two years after his second Wagoneer (1970 AMC Jeep) was not doing well, either. He swapped the 4WD Suburban for a 2WD (Ford LTD wagon with the 460 Lincoln engine). The thinking was the highway would be completed soon and we had a dune buggy we could tow.
