Nice stuff... I was thinking only along Hwy. 1 with my answers... but when I think of all the roads, it sure opens up some stretches of beauty... and some of you have named some of them!

I agree with Tripledidgetken. Nice photos, too!

I would like to add the dirt road from Mulege, West over to the Pacific. Beautiful scenery!

Doug, Glad you are getting your Baja hit!

El Rosario to Cabo followed by Pescadero to Cabo. The new 4-lane doesn't get any better.

Too many to pick one. But schmoozing with the Army is always fun. This is a little north of Catavina:

Now wait a second.........
In November on the way home I turned of the road to go to the beach with the sandbar to the island (El Requision I think) in my loaded down Mercury Mountaineer. The road was much worse than in the past, because of the storms of course, but there is nowhere to turn around. After a little while wandering around the deserted beach another small suv with canadien plates pulls up. Nice older couple but the first thing they said, 'we heard the road was impassable but saw you down here from Hwy 1'. That Merc has taken me anywhere I want to go, even without the Toyota logo and premium price.:light:

Love the road to the San Pedro Martir, the road from Hwy 1 to La Huertita, the drop down Canon El Mano, and the road from Jesus Maria up into the mountains around Pico Sandia. First half of the Pole Line Road is nice too.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
