San Juanico road
Any word on the plans or progress on the road south from S.J. to La Purisma, or over to Las Barancas?

Maybe that will change the plan to swing the road along the coast to Las Barancas

The road was still at least a year, maybe years from completion before all of the rains. I'm guessing the rains set them back 6 months plus. I doubt
the rains will cause any substantial re-routing.

It will still be an adventure for a while...
...no word on when they will make repairs or continue with the construction. The dirt part of the South road received it's fair share of damage, but
is ok at the moment. Any more depressions like Julio will cause additional set backs. This photo is the new bridge that was wipeout at Mesquitel
earlier this month.

Up and over most of the time
Skeet, as you head South from San Juanico, you can drive the beach almost to the end and sometimes make it around the bend at a minus tide. If not,
then you can take the sand dune up and over (you can see a small trail to the right in the photo above). This takes you to San Gregorio.

The road will follow the arroyo on the West side. If you continue on that road it takes you to the road most folks use to come in and out of San
Juanico.

If you want to continue on to Barrancas, you have to go cross before you get to the regular dirt road in to SJ at a small ranch, then follow the road
South and cross further up in the Purisma Arroyo and make your way back to the beach where you will pick up the road that will take you to Barrancas.

Once you cross the Purisima Arroyo, you would make your way back towards the beach area and continue South to Barrancas. You can see this road to the
upper left/across the arroyo in the photo. Chino, it is an adventure for sure!

Thanks much Juan:
Been there several times and took my 84 year old Mother there.
Use to go do Lobster Traps with Kieko, Juan from la paz.
Caught Corvina by the Dozens as well as had Doplhins come up and take bait from my Hand.
Where you there when the Whale Beached and Died on the South Side of the Estuary??. I have some of the Bones hanging on my Barn Wall here in Texas.
Sure appreciate the maps as I plan on a trip there in Jan.

Glad to help...
Skeet, glad the information was good for you;
Chino, David K has posted some great maps of the area that are really current.
The above photo of Miguel was taken at the dedication of the second part of the road with the Governor, in November 2006 out on the road being
constructed at the time.

David K., thanks for the great maps! The proposed road seems to follow the maps you presented earlier. There has been no action on this road for over
a year. That's ok with most of the folks I know.
"Good roads bring bad people, bad roads bring the good one's".
Changed it a little from Mama, but no matter how you quote it, we all know it's true.

I drew onto the BA topo map the route of the highway, as it seems to show on that sign...
I am curious Juan, is the whole entire route graded yet. Is there bridges built over the estuary/ river? Should people driving north for San Juanico
go to Las Barrancas to catch the new road... or is the southern part still not there? How much pavement was actually applied (from where to where)?
Many thanks!

Jeez, can't anyone just follow a map and find-what-they-find when they get there? all these flocking (BN's PC police choice of words, not mine)
maps.... everything is STILL where the cartographers drew it! leave something to the imagination!!!!
edit: fight the PC police....we're mostly all adults. the rest will become adults before they know it!
