Paving the road to Paradise
Does anyone know the status of the road improvment south of KM 52 on the Puertecitos Hwy?

Aren't you in Campbell River now?
If you are heading south to the other B.C. soon, Elizabeth and I will drop by for a visit as we want to get in one more Shell Island weekend while the
water is bath tub temperature!

You are correct David, we are in BC north, way north. Current outside temp is 62F and we are lovin it. We won't be back in BSM until late October and
hope that you two can make it in the fall. I'm surprised at no response to the question I posed.

Thanks Lou and Beercan. My question was a follow up to that previous post. Just curious about the follow-through. We watched the Mexican highway
workers do the new paving between KM 10 and KM 32 a few years back and furnished some cokes to them.

The salmon fishing
has been on a steady decline in the CR area for many years. Long gone are the days of consistant limits. The west coast, however, is still very
productive for salmon and buts. We now fish in Nootka Sound out of Moutcha Bay. We are headed there tomorrow for a week and should be able to fill the
freezer. thanks Beercan, I will look forward to your trip report.

I'm propbably in a minority or perhaps the only one that feels this way but as far as I'm concerned the worst thing that ever happened to Baja is
paving roads
In some sort of way I feel embarassed to be a human every time I see some lardazz in a huge motorhome with the latest big screen GPS on the dash
traveling down Mex 1
Like he's going to get lost or something?:
Hope the economy takes a big dive and funds dry up to postpone it another ten years.

En La Manana
The Wife, Dogs and I are going to take a recon run early tomorrow a.m. to see what progress there has been. Stay tuned.
I think that most of us feel the same about the pavement, but it's something out of our control. It's sort of like complaining about the weather. I
wasn't happy when the pavement caught up with me (in Percebu), but it did so I can't get too worked up about it reaching someone else. At my age, it
simply means that I'll go places more often that I have avoided in recent years. My days of off-road camping are long gone.
I'm now watching for (with dread) the impending advance of the Power Lines.

Well put Mr. Bill.
Your great dog shot reminds me of my dad's idea: a lavish, oversized coffee table volume on the Dogs of Mexico.
Cover shot?

Beyond KM 52
We just got back from our little run South. A finish coat of pavement exists for one mile past KM 52, a base coat of new pavement for another 0.6
miles. At that point, there is additional new pavement, but I'm not sure how far it goes. The Northbound portion has a base coat for an
indeterminate distance and the Southbound portion had just been poured ayer since it was still wet and "coned off". No workmen in sight anywhere on
Saturday, including nobody to direct traffic. I was hesitant to drive the wrong way down that single lane with blind curves.
Just North of KM 51, they have set up a big rock and gravel operation with lots of equipment. It looks like this is the real deal.
Slowmad-Thanks for the Dog comment. She is a cutie, but too spoiled and strong-willed at only 5 months.

One of the rumors about a year ago was a gravel quarry was going to be placed near KM 52 and that is where the gravel will come from for the paving
all the way to Gonzaga.
This Space Available, E-Mail Me If Interested.

That's where the Quarry is.
