Hwy 1 TJ to Puerto Nuevo
Took free road south today. The first few miles is pretty banged up after that it is new pavement until Rosarito. No construction. FYI you go further
East then you might think connecting to HWY 1 from the TJ coast. The signs just say Tecate/Garita de Otey until you finally see one sign that says
Ensenada. Then take the road right as it merges.

I am trying to figure out what he is describing here:
"FYI you go further East then you might think connecting to HWY 1 from the TJ coast. The signs just say Tecate/Garita de Otey until you finally see
one sign that says Ensenada. Then take the road right as it merges." ??
Go further east from where?
Where is the point you call "HWY.1 from the TJ coast"
Take what road right ... merges with what... ??
Thank you for clearing it up, sorry I don't quite get it... It was hot today!

Well downtown TJ is near the coast... ? Anyway- I think he crossed at Otay and the road is still a confusing mess linking up to the Blvd 2000. With
the construction going on at Playas (getting much better- but not completed yet)- I was thinking he meant there at first too.
Any Nomads know the time/mileage mileage difference between thesec two routes? :
From Otay Mesa to Puerto Nuevo via Blvd 2000
From San Ysidro to Puerto Nuevo via the Via Rapida and toll road.

Sounds like from the bottom of the hill at the end of the fence road where it merges with the toll road. That merge was closed but, I thought
someone said it was now open.

I'm not sure what I'm saying, really. I thought he was indicating that he entered Mexico and travelled the fence road, up and over the hill and,
rather than take the merge to the toll road at the bottom of the hill, he continued on straight east to the Rosarito turn off by the Army base.
I don't know.

The above describes what we did on Labor Day. The transition was open but only one lane open on main route toward playas had huge backup coming down
the hill so we took libre route east then south. Taking it slow and easy.

Will that cover the deposit as well? You may have to open and drink it at the checkstand.
Oh well...life is still good.

Just pick any route or destination, or leave them out. It wouldn't make this string any less obscure.
I got out my GPS, my maps, my Google (yes, we have forgotten that Google can also be a noun), my bottle of booze and rolled a fattie, and I am still
not any further from or closer to a tangible reference point...Lord knows I tried! Knowing where I am has never helped, anyway.
Give Mikelikebaja the benefit of the doubt for knowing that we were all in a state of confusion before he originated this string...it's a put on,
right?  ...or maybe not

In retrospect, none of it really matters anyway. No matter where you go, there you are.
