GonzagaBay road info please.


Hi,
We are headed to Gonzaga Bay for the week, whats the latest info on the road?

Starting in Mexicali, how is the construction in town?
How is the roadwork on Mex 5 between Mexicali and San Filipe?
How far past Puertocidas does the pavement get to?
Any bad washouts?
How are the washboards?
Is there a checkpoint on the dirt road at Huerfanito? At Gonzaga?
Air temps at Gonzaga? water temps?
Hows the fishing been?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks,
John

Was down there 2 weeks ago.
There was some construction in Mexicali(short 2 block detour)
Some resurfacing of the road between Mexicali and SF.
Pavement extends just to bypass Puerticoes but was scraped and smooth to Bahia Christina.
No bad washouts.
Lots of washboard.
No one home at Huerfanito check point. Yes at Gonzaga.
Air temp was warm mid 90's - high 60's. Water was fantastic!
I use this website for weather info: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
Did not fish, but was told it was a bit slow.
Have fun
