I can't imagine that once the holes get irritatingly deep that the people drive through them at high speed. I saw 10 wheel dump trucks driving through
the worst of them at speed, and I'm sure that is what really exacerbates the situation. If no one is slamming into them, there is little to make them
bigger/deeper.
I'm tempted to be peeved about that, but once the holes are bad enough that I have to be hyper alert, a 2 is no more problem than a 10 if I have to
drive around it anyway.
Iflyfish, I've got to bust you buddy. When we passed Rick on that road, we were both expecting to see each-other, but Rick was so intent on his pot
hole avoidance that he and ZForbes, drove right by our camper while we were parked and waving our four arms!
It is a challenging bit of "pavement".

Not surprising, however. No matter which one of us is driving, not only are our four eyes glued to the pavement, I think the dogs' four eyes are also
glued. I don't think a full scale fiesta would attract our attention! Bit of pavement is exactly what it is --- a bit here and a bit there. 
Several vendor trucks move through there at warp speed.

when we headed home from BA last Dec we came upon this van loaded with baseball players on their way to a game. they hit a pretty bad hole and all of
my best efforts couldn't break the lugnuts on that rim. moral of the story: you don't need an impact wrench on your lugnutz. tighten them and then a
quick "cinch" is all that you need. they had extra long studs and even my deep well sockets couldn't budge them. oh, and they needed my jack!
one for the karma ledger.....

Other Baja Potholes...
This is a bad one, too....the badly rutted entry road iinto Rcho Sta. Inez(s) just south of Catavina.
A great place to RV overnight, though.

Roger, have you learned of who the new owners are at Rancho Santa Ynez (Ines) or what their plans are? I had heard that Don Briggs (of Vista CA
nursery fame) was involved, as he also has a Punta Final (Gonzaga Bay) property, that was once owned by Santa Ynez's Doņa Josefina.

Nope, David, not a clue. I only drove a short distance on the Santa Ynez rough road...just for a photo...then U-turned to bug-out north. Perhaps
some other visitor will have current info? Looking forward to checking the new ownership out next November.
