It doesn't, the bipass is paved for maybe 2 kms. past the fork. then unpaved on to where a detour soon allows you to join the older route to avoid
dodging the heavy equipment. The new route stays to the right (inland), but next to the old route. Construction work only goes for about 5 miles.

If I saw other Nomads I would mention it in my report... so, no.
Not sure what "huerfanito?" is meant to ask me...?
Dale's place is just north of Puertecitos, I think... El Huerfanito (has a landing strip) is opposite the island just off shore, about 20 miles south
of Puertecitos.

DK sez..."If I saw other Nomads I would mention it in my report... so, no."
well alrighty then...guess i didn't know you have a set protocol for your "reports"
anyway i don't know if he is or wants to be a "nomad"
his place is off the alignment of the enchanted islas where they dive and spear, that's what Huerfanito ref was for. i thought you knew where his
castle is - guess not. try www.gonetobaja.com
i'll track him down but thanks anyway.

Mike... Dale is 'gonetobaja' here on Nomad, so yes, he is a Baja Nomad... You replied several times to his posts, about getting picked up at the
airports, etc. (???)
Also, from Dale's web site, that you told me to see (which is off line now, needs renewing... he should have Doug host his site!), the location of
Dale's place: (???)
"We are located at beautiful Playa Escondida 1 mile north of the small town of Puertecitos. There are several Palapa camp sites for rent and has the
finest beaches in the area. For those who would like to drive down and visit us in your own car we also rent fishing poles and offer hot showers at
the campo. We are also currently under construction of our Castle by the Beach, Castillo Escondido, where future guests can have all of the creature
comforts available, with a beachfront room to boot. Check out our "Our Gear" page for more info."

Dale's place is just 1/2 mile north of Puertecitos.
David, if you want to come down and visit Puertecitos as my guest( No fees), just give me a heads up and I will try to arrange to be there and do the
deed.

Thanks beercan, that is very kind of you!
Mike, I am sorry I sounded rude earlier... Perhaps I needed one more day in beautiful Baja California? Anyway, I am glad you got the details of Dale
sorted out... I have not met him... just his interesting posts and his (former) web site details.
Viva Baja, Viva Screaming Airlines!
One good thing, the signs on the highway have PUERTECITOS spelled correctly!!

no offense taken here. so don't consider it. actually i am glad to learn his castillo is close to puertocitos which is easier for me to swing for a
visit.
now if only i can reach him, maybe he is there now. he needs sat service like Beercan has. all this time i was sure he actually stayed down by
Huerfanito. that strip cannot be used.
