We aren't Luddites, just security conscious. In the photo it looks like there is already a bypass road cut below the washout.

Maybe the road collapsed from the weight? Should have driven faster?!

It looks odd, the front would be more torn up and the fenders pushed back into the doors if they had hit with any force.  What a bummer.

Maybe they were going slow over the flooded portion of the road (with the culvert underneath) and it all collapsed with them on top.
Wash outs in Baja? Why, I can't believe it! :-) Its been this way for the 40 years or so I've been down there. What is the surprise? Loose fill dirt,
2 inches of asphalt and you have a road bed. Now would I want to be building the roads down there No Way! But I have great respect for those workers
who go way out in the middle of no where, in the hot summer and build roads. It would be a tough job that none of us here on BN would ever do. Not one
of us.
It might be a good BN idea to carry extra ice and drinks and stop and give it away to the road workers as we pass through. What do all you think? Foam
ice chests are cheap. Carry a few extra, stocked with drinks and ice.

We might need another thread look at hurricane Sergio spaghetti paths could be a double hit for northern Baja.

I think you've had one too many tonight. Get some sleep. You jump to conclusions too quickly and take offense too easily.

As to skid marks anti-lock brakes don't lock up until at a slow speed.

MX-1 dried out

We got out of Gonzaga Bay yesterday (10-3-18). MX-1 dried out, and MX-5 south of Gonzaga Bay is in good condition. The 17 miles of unpaved road are
passable in any passenger vehicle, albeit still lots of sharp rocks.
