If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Was through there in April as well.. Done it maybe 25 times in the past 25 years

This year it was as different as I've ever seen it. Still very doable..

I ended up on the middle road (4x4) almost all the way to El Datil.. From there it was very normal. Take no chances out there as far as " I think we can make it" ...the stuck out there is one of the worst

Anybody that does provide gps coords that are more than 6 month old will be likely telling you to go where you don't want to go

Get out there in the Mud DK! Can't believe you've never done that

TT


Was going to, in the '79 Baja 1000... we broke too soon! Then, there was a choice of the high road or the flats.

In April of last year I took the high road that passes Rancho El Cuarenta. The son Martin told me the regular road north to the Laguna had been damaged by the heavy rains and I should take the road west. It joins the road from El Datil. It had a couple of deep sand spots and is narrow in some areas but otherwise OK.
