Cat-you're going to need more than one day in BA....seriously, it's not really worth the drive for only one day. Have a great trip and who
knows....maybe our paths will cross.

BAJACAT ~ according to an atlas I found...
Concepcion to Mulege ~ 30 miles
Mulege to San Ignacio ~ 82.9 miles
San Ignacio to Vizcaino turnoff ~ 33.4 miles
Vizcaino to Asuncion ~ 66 miles
For a total of 212.3 miles. I would give it, bare minimum 5 hours.
ITA with bajaboy. Asuncion is worthy of more than a stop off, and it is a drive to get there, not really just a place to pass through.

We went from Bahia Asuncion to Bahia Concepcion in one long day, but that was via the dirt coastal route through Abreojos, and a visit to San Ignacio.
Using the paved roads, it is probably a 4-5 hour drive 200-250 miles...

Thanks DK, I finally found the atlas book that I was looking for the last time I posted asking for mileage. It is pretty detailed and thus far,
accurate. We bought in in the Viejo Cactus gift shop in Malarrimo last year and it has been more than helpful. Prior to that, we were pretty much
winging it ~ which led us down many a dead end road  Not to say that doesn't
still happen...I think my husband does it on purpose...the neverending quest to find that one perfect spot I don't mind...it's all part of the adventure!
The atlas is the "Peninsula de Baja California Road & Recreation Atlas 2007" published by www.esparzaeditiores.com.mx
Are you familiar with this one?

More to consider than mileage
While it is only about 70 miles mas or menos, with the condition of the Vizcaino-Tortugas road right now, it is taking us about 2 hours to get from
Vizcaino to Asuncion.
So do take that into consideration. I hope the weather will be nice for you as this is not the best time of year for Bahia Asuncion----but then
again, it has been a crazy weather year.
Have fun

Yep, nothing like a 5 hour trip that takes 8! That is usually the case for us, no matter where or when we travel So, we try not to schedule or plan for anything but settling in on the days when we are driving any distance over 100
miles. Besides, even if the road is in awesome shape, you never know what else will happen....gotta stop at that roadside stand, or that taqueria, or
pee every few minutes, or, the classic, hey what's down that dirt road? We never get ANYWHERE fast!!
If anyone is interested...the atlas we picked up at Malarrimo is also available here ~
mexicomaps.com
This is what it looks like:
Does anyone else have this puppy? We love it!

BC, if you run into us at Conception, plan accordingly. You probably wont feel well enough to drive until mid afternoon the following day. Then,
it's too late to leave and the cycle repeats. Fair warning.
Well, in Dan Bernardino waiting for the 64 gal tank install. Will snag our cards tonight and will be enjoying shrimp manana.
Kirk out
You gonna eat that?

Have Big tank -Will travel. I'm so far over gross vehicle weight with this 56 gal water tank and this 64 gal fuel tank, I don't even want to think
about it.
I'll say one thing, the Border Station parking lot isn't what it once was. What a hole.
You gonna eat that?

In Loreto now (20th). Windy tomorrow, so no fishing. Will likely head out mid-morning to Asuncion to see what all the hubbub is about. Adios!
