Seriously, right?

Cinco Islas update Nov. 2015. YouTube video link below. The place is open for campers and RV's. Only one other person staying there besides me. Rocky, windblown place. Boat ramp is out of commission; shown at end of video.

The new road is already benefiting the economy of Baja bringing trucks up from the South. Will even more so when it is finished.

Side benefits are for gringos wanting to go south (or north)...cuts 200 miles off for people east of San Dingo without shaking your car apart. Benefits USA by bringing more goods and produce North.

Win-win for most people.

Yes, it is good for the economy of most... but a significant drop in business will hurt people depending on the truckers along Highway One north of Laguna Chapala.

That the highway between San Felipe and Puertecitos is not yet built to the same condition as the section south of Puertecitos means accidents, and damaged pavement on those Vados of Death!

They really need to fix those. I had forgotten just how bad they are south of SF in a car. On a bike, you don't notice it as much.

I was being sincere when I said the paved road from Puertecitos south is nice. It is really nice. Disproportionally nice compared to the small amount of traffic going there.
