Road conditions from San Felipe to Gonzaga Bay
Any recent updates on the road conditions from San Felipe to Gonzaga? Has the road been paved all the way?

Also, after being paved to the new bridge just north of Papa Fernandez' road for a year now, it has just been reported by TW that the next 10 kms. are
now being worked on in prep for the new highway. 6-7 miles a year has been the average progress on paving south from Puertecitos... which began in
2007.

Late to this thread but I have a couple of questions about Alfonsinas...
Did I understand there's a guard shack on the north side of the airstrip and a locked gate on the south side? How do you get to the palapas on the
south side for camping?
Is there a better place for a couple of moto campers to spend a night before heading south?
Anybody seen Coco lately, and how is he doing?
Tentatively planning a moto trip, Yuma to La Paz the end of February, hence the questions.
Gracias

Interesting that you would find that driving on one of the finest divided highways on the planet to be worse than surviving all the danger and crooked
law enforcement of driving TJ to Ensenada.
What makes the drive from Yuma to Tacate such a horror story on the interstate?

With the coming of pavement, also comes "All Kinds of People" (Mama Espinoza was quoted in 1973)... so guards and gates are what you get! If you are a
paying customer, then no worries... HOWEVER, with no report of gates or guards, because it is out of sight of the new road:
My suggestion would be Campo Beluga... no locked gates, palapas and flush toilets, showers... Just 1.2 mile south of the Pemex/Rancho Grande. Photos
posted many times... http://vivabaja.com/207/page3.html
TW and others posted about Coco and included photos... see trip reports forum. Here's TW's report and Coco pics: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=70830

David, thanks for the links, I haven't read the forum in depth to be familiar with them. When you answer a question with good info, you're a great
resource. Sometimes you get a bit overbearing and look to dominate or one-up others and I think that causes some conflict. You were right on target
this time.
Thanks again, amigo.

De nada amigo.
I apologize to those who get ruffled by my replies here... I mean only to provide accurate and detailed information. I do not think I am anything more
than someone who loves Baja and has the ability to share my nearly 50 years of collections (photos, maps, books) and my memories of Baja travel. There
is far more Baja I do not know about than I do know about.
There is plenty of Baja for all of us: there's 3,000 miles of coastline, thousands of square miles inland, and 365 days in a year. That makes it the
coolest timeshare in the world!
Heck, some of us enjoy being with other Nomads as well.
