Left if you are NORTHbound... Right if you are driving south... More correctly, West if you are looking at a map! (Just helping you there JR, as a
'non-resident' Baja author and map maker... : :

No JR I am not a cartographer... that is something I was going to college for until I got sidetracked into irrigation in 1980.
Yes JR, professional map makers are called cartographers...
I make money installing irrigation, drains, landscape lighting, and lawns. I make maps for fun...
I have made quite a list of mistakes on the Baja Almanac (made by the Mexican cartographers) and have tried to get Landon to contact me to make the
Almanac better, at no charge to him.

Far from it, in fact my skin is darker than many Mexicans as I work in the sun... if your comment was meant to be racist, as if white was better than
other colors? What happened to your use of the word 'human' to descibe nice actions by people?
Like my web site, and posts on Nomad and other places, I do this to help or add to the information travelers to Baja seek, in order to enhance their
experience... This helps Mexico and so that is one way I give back to the place I enjoy so much...

Is this a trick question? LOL
I love maps (naturally), so when I see a new map of Baja I scan it to see how close to reality it is.
The Baja Almanac (or the Mexican government topos it gets its maps from) is a fun book/map to look at and see the roads I have driven on or may want
to drive on... When it shows a road in the wrong place, misses showing a road that has been there for many years, or misnamed bays, arroyos, etc. from
their historic true name, I see that.
Baja Maps and history are my hobbies... you knew that. I travel in Baja to feel and experience the places on the maps.
For example, Mex. 1 between Cafe Sonora and almost to Catavina is shown wrong on the topo/Almanac. They just colored the old main road as 'paved'...
the highway is actually 1-2 miles west of the old road in this section...
The road in Valle Chico to Matomi is not totally shown where it has been since I first drove it in 1978...
The road to San Juan de Dios north of Arroyo San Juan de Dios crossing is not shown correctly...
Arroyo el Volcan is mis labled, and the next arroyo south is given it's name...
The twin bays Bahia San Luis Gonzaga and Ensenada de San Francisquito are switched in the Almanac...
The road south of L.A. Bay is incorrect near Las Flores...
The road between Jose Saldana and Cohabuzo Jcn. is not shown, the one that is shown, to the north, is not there...
The road south of Rancho Grande is not shown correctly (it is east of the jcn. of Arroyo Santa Maria and Arroyo Las Arrastras)...
Oh, here's a couple I don't know from personal experience, but from other Nomads: There is no auto. road between San Francisco de la Sierra and Santa
Marta as shown... There is no auto. road to Mision los Dolores...

David, in the interest of fair play, I am going to give you some advice. Don't try to match wits with JR.
