I have been wanting to take this route for years. Paul, have you gone on this road recently? I know there are several different ways to go along the
route, depending on road conditions.

Even better than through El Arco is to take the road that forks south by Arroyo Purificacion and goes to Ejido Guillermo Prieto and then out to Hwy. 1
a few miles north of Vizcaino.

Hey Pablo, I haven't taken that route for about 7 years. It's a great trip if you've got the time. Better to gas up in BoLA before heading south. Stop
at San Rafael (good for snorkeling for lobster) and camp at the real Bahia San Francisquito (not at the airstrip about 1 klick south). There was a
small fishing community there when I was there with a friend in November fishing for the yellowtail run. The road coming out was a real bear. "Cuesta
de la Ley" was truly a trek. I think only 4X4 is appropriate (at least it was then). Buena Suerte and Bien Viaje, Pablito Boe

Don't worry, this road is a legal road and goes to the dunes and comes out at the bank...if by chance anyone asks, it's just a faster way to the
bank...once there were federales at this turnoff but they were looking for someone...no they can't see you turn off from the checkpoint, it's too far
away. I highly recommend it! the dunes are a cool spot to stop for a picnic too if it's not windy...very lovely.

Please, oh please tell us how you managed that! Hate that spray. |
We've told them NO, we don't want the spray. One time they insisted so I demanded a suit and air mask just like he was going to use for each of the
occupants in our truck. He let us go. I know of other's who have refused it as well.
