Many people in Mulege where not even a where of this situation if it not been for Baja Nomad and a few of us getting the word out. Many thanks for all the Nomads sending reports and pics. Have to say Mexico has things running where Katrina is still at a stand still :?::?::?::?:

As of 6 pm Monday night, NO! You can call your local ABC or Aguila bus station and they will tell you if they are selling tickets from GN to TJ.

It appears the bridge at San Vicente is repaired enough to get past. We're trying to get to La Paz from the north. We're driving a heavily loaded F250, pulling a trailer. Are there any other washouts that would prevent us making it? Anyone with good info, please let us know.

We're now in Guaymas, trying to get the ferry to Sta Rosalia, but its schedule has been interrupted by overbooking and heavy seas. Yesterday's ferry was 12 hours late arriving in Guaymas. So we may find it better to return to Ensenada and try again. (Groan - it could be worse!)

I wonder if the Mazatlan/La Paz ferry situation is as booked? Less driving to Mazatlan vs. back around.

Ken, thanks for the suggestion (actually, it's Los Mochis to La Paz). It's complicated, because we'd have to apply for temporary import of our three vehicles (truck, trailer, ATV), and then return thru Los Mochis to get back to US. If we didn't, we get stopped next entry. It happened to a Baja friend.

Why are the import rules different for the La Paz connection?

At San Vicente they basically just extended the bank out and filled under the fallen part of the bridge. Probably not a long term fix but it is getting traffic moving again.

At Vicente Guerrero they are telling everybody now that there will be a passable route through for traffic come later this afternoon:

Great news for the region and all that have been stranded...

re: diff import rules for veh

Ken, Baja and Sonora (Guaymas) are in a free import zone for vehicles; the rest of the country controls import of veh rigorously.

9:30 am PST January 26, 2010: North San Quintin Bridge area


I just spoke with my friends who stayed the night in San Quintin after traveling from San Ignacio yesterday. They are still heading North towards Ensenada. They had just crossed the bridge on the North side of San Quintin at the temporary river crossing down stream from the bridge (travelling in an Xterra). They said it was flowing about two feet deep at the deepest part, but there was a hole in one spot that dropped to about three feet if you weren't careful. They watched a few vehicles cross, then proceeded with caution and made it through with no problems. There are tractors there for those who require the assistance. They said that it looked like by the early afternoon, that the road crew would connect the road to the bridge with backfill. They said that there was a lot of men and machines working the situation. They also could not believe the amount of trucks that are parked along side the road waiting.

Those bridge fixes are remarkable. What quick reaction to such a disaster.
