There is only one of this nature at this time by land. Another was set up for sea arrivals in Pichilingue and the others will be at airports.

Let me know when the back up is long enough to make the road to Abreojos, and then South a real alternative.

I have an offroad trip coming up and was wondering if it is possible to stay on dirt all the way from the Abreojos Road into San Ignacio through the
road that appears to head southwest out of San Ignacio. It appears it can be done according to the Baja Almanac (page 32). Has anyone done this
route?

I recall seeing the road from Rancho San Angel meeting the new paved Abreojos road, less than 10 miles south from Hwy. 1...

Hard to make out on the full size page, but San Angel is near the top of the salt flat and the road continues WNW to 'El Rodeo' area on the map... (I
removed the two topo map images, as they were not clear).
Have you searched 'San Angel' on Nomad? Here's one: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=33212

David, that all looks good in the almanac from Vizcaino to the Abreojos Road, and then on through San Angel - very doable. I'm wondering about from
San Angel into San Ignacio from the southwest. On Google Earth it looks like the road goes right up the canyon, but I'm not sure if there are any
major water crossings, etc. I feel an adventure coming on!!!

We came through the San Ignacio checkpoint headed NORTH yesterday (Saturday) around 9-10AM. There were maybe 5-6 cars waiting on the southbound side.
We were checked pretty quickly, but by the time we left there a dozen or more cars and RV's waiting on the other side. It looked like they were
still processing the same car when we left, so I'd guess the wait time to be around an hour at that time.
Hopefully people will keep reporting on the time there. This will be a wild card in trying to plan a day's drive. As the day's get longer we like to
get to Sta Rosalia or Mulege before sundown, but a 2 hour delay at San Ignacio will make that tough!

No kidding. We do really need to keep this issue up front. Taking a couple of hours to sit in line, really can alter plans. Thanks for the update,
Jeff.

Will probably head that direction tomorrow and will give an update as soon as I am online again----sure hope it is gone, but if not, oh well---maybe
they won't mind if I take pictures.
Then again, I do hesitate to upset anyone who is carrying a rifle or machine gun.
