Will do - Where can you be found in Asuncion again?
Also, where to fill water tank in camper - purificado or potable?

Drive straight through town over the little hill and we are the yellow house at the bottom of the hill---can't miss it.
There is a water store by the gas pump in town, but I have not seen people using hoses to fill campers, etc.---just bottles, but they will help you
with something.

They just had a lot of rain and some flats are slick ad greasy under the dry crust .. be careful.

Oh, and I have it as 12.2 miles from 'downtown Abreojos' to Campo Rene restaurant... but I may be off up to a mile as we made a couple loops in town
looking for Fishin' Rich and Whistler!

DK
Being the anal retentive person you are, I am surprised you have not updated your outdated information.

Did either of you read the first lines, above the roadlog?:

road between Asuncion and Abreojos... and a few miles going into Asuncion from Vizacaino.)
The pavement will end where it ends... 5 miles from town, in town or elsewhere... I dodn't think it will change his plans, or the mileages (which is
wat he was asking about).

Typing so fast and upset that you can't edit? Or are dodn't and wat new words? 
Your information about the road out to Bahia Asuncion is also very outdated.
But you tried. That is what is important. Good Job

So, these mileages are not any good anymore, with the exception of the pavement comments?
0.0 (0 hrs.) Vizcaino on Hwy. 1. Go west on Bahia Tortugas highway
11.4 Rancho San Francisquito road
46.6 (45 min.) Bahia Asuncion JCN. (turn south/ left). Graded dirt road west/ straight to Tortugas.
Road left is newly paved towards Asuncion, traffic is detoured onto parallel dirt road.
54.0 End of new black top, work continues.

Mojo, be sure to put piece of tape over your odometer. Its so beautiful you won't want to be reminded of this thread.
Whatever the exact mileages are, its super easy and beautiful. You almost cant get lost, but you could get stuck in the soft stuff.
Enjoy
No worries

Here's the gas station in La Bocana. Full service with diesel too. If they're closed, just start asking around.
No worries
