Greetings and Happy New Year to All,

I didn't get too far south on Hwy 5, but driving North from Km 35 on New Year's Day I found it to be about 25 degrees F. Coldest I've ever seen!!!

Best to All, stay safe and warm!

Wow... that is cold! I have seen snow on the mountain just west of San Felipe (Cerro Kino?), and that is low, for the desert side.

What Coco said

We stopped by Coco's Saturday morning to chat and buy some Pacificos on our way back up and he said the road would go to the West of him, so your map looks right. He also mentioned it was so cold he had to put his hands in his burro ;)

He seemed to be doing well but mentioned someone stole most of his vehicles and almost everyrthing else, not the books though...! I'm out of the loop and didn't catch exactly when this happened...really sucks though. He said he's never going to leave his place again.

Since Coco's was built on the 'corner' (of graded roads to Puerto Calamajue and Gonzaga Bay), they will be likely grading an approx. 1 mile road from the new highway route (which is over the old Chapala/ Las Arrastras) to Coco's Corner for Calamajue traffic.
