The road was in decent shape in late May when I drove it last. Since then I've talked a few times with some friends who live along it and who
regularly drive to Loreto. No mention of the AV road being any worse than normal. The lack of rain however is a big problem for the ranch folks.

Sorry, got busy and forgot to report! The road into Agua Verde was in great shape. I made it in quickly with no trouble and did not even need 4WD
until the final drop to the beach. We (My wife and two little boys) camped there for 8 days and it went by way too fast. The weather was near
perfect and fishing from shore was very productive. I actually did better from shore than the few days I tried in a panga. I wish I was still there!

Hi! I just happened to come across this thread. My husband and I are heading down for our second road trip to Baja this next March. We've heard of
Agua Verde and would love to go there, but we were worried about the road as well. It sounds like it's passable, but should we have any big concerns
about taking a truck camper down there? We have a Dodge 2500 Diesel 4x4 and a 9' truck camper. We would also probably have a 15' boat, but we might
be able to leave that at a friend's for a few days if that would be too much. Any feedback would be appreciated!

I think I met you guys on Bahia Concepcion last spring. I am also a North Idaho resident. Seems we are all thinking of Baja with Old Man Winter
kicking our asses presently. Sounds like you bought a boat. Funny, I bought a Dodge 2500 and a camper...
Maybe I'll see you on Cocos. I'm not heading down until March because Semana Santos is late this year.

Wow! Great to hear from you - yes that's us! We're coming down again. We'll be there late March-early April. I'm definitely hoping to make it back
to Coco's again. We just got 2+ feet of snow in the past 3 days so I'm definitely starting to dream of Baja. We bought a 15 foot smokercraft boat
this year and really excited to take it out into the bay. Matt spends every day on RV.net forums talking to other camper owners too. You should
shoot him an e-mail and maybe you could give us some boat pointers and he can offer some tips on the truck & camper! His e-mail is
info@brownmountainbuilding.com. See you in a few months!

There are two or three very tight hairpin turns going down that road as it drops down toward the beaches. Very large vehicles or those towing a long
trailer will probably have some issues. There is a tour company that sometimes brings people down to the beach right where the road first hits the
water at Rancho San Cosme and that full sized bus won't even attempt it. They park up top before the road gets real twisty and shuttle people down in
smaller vehicles. I think there are some pics someplace on this forum of one of the bad hairpin turns on that road.

Thanks! Good to know. I had heard similar reports, so we'll probably wait for a time when we aren't pulling a trailer, but I would love to find a
way to get down there at some point. Looks absolutely amazing.
