Over the road south of Puertecitos to Gonzaga and back with my parents in 1965 and again in 1967 to L.A. Bay and back, in a Jeep Wagoneer.

I first drove it myself going north when I was 16 (1974) and again in 1975... in a dune buggy (VW Myers Manx)...

In '79 it was really trashed... hadn't been worked on in since all commercial traffic for Gonzaga was now coming in from the new Hwy. 1 (finished in Dec. '73)... just got through barely in my 4WD Subaru... went home on Hwy. 1 (less an exhaust system).

In '85 or '86 they built the new graded road and it uses different grades and all less steep so 2WD vehicles can climb them.

'runner: Doug has an automated system that prevents certain words from appearing intact... to keep Baja Nomad PG-13. N-zi (as in the German Socialist Part of the 1930's and 40's is also 'fixed' (as you will see when I post this).

Give us a list


David, and what might those words be (snicker, snicker)
can we get Doug to post an official list?

I have probably used most of those words (except N-zi) when traveling over the road aforementioned...

Baitcast- the truly dreaded ledge was between Rancho Cuarenta and La Purisima, after you came off the beach route headed South.

Now that one was all-time, hall of fame, world class UGLY!!
