Pavement comes to Asuncion
We did an emergency trip to the dentist in GN yesterday and am happy to report the first layer of pavement is down right into the village now...woo
hooo. The final layer will be done within 2 weeks...supposedly. Boy that will be nice...the new road cuts off half an hour of drive time to GN...not
to mention makes it way more enjoyable...no dust and spilling tecate on the washboard anymore!

That sure will be nice for all the locals...not to mention the northerners that want to come visit. That road to Asuncion and Tortugas was tough.
Well, if want my wilderness, there is the ride north up the coast.

BAD ROADS bring GOOD PEOPLE
GOOD ROADS bring ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE!
(as Mama Espinoza is credited with saying after the Transpeninsular Highway arrived in El Rosario, in 1973.)
Be careful what you wish for!

I figured someone would mention the good road/bad road thing.
truth is a good road is very welcome by the locals who have spent most of their incomes on car repairs and who dread having to go "out" to
appointments, bank etc. This means alot to remote villages.

My wife and I will be in Baja January and February. She has never been to that part of Baja and I have only passed thru on a M/C. Do you have room
for a RV? What is the weather like?
How long does the drive take from mex 1?

Its one thing to visit somewhere every once n a while... it's another to live there. Your perspective changes.

Not me who changed the quote... but that is the version of Mama's quote she is credited with the past many years. It may have originally been 'brings
bad people' and that was changed to be more 'PC'?

A la Bing, Boom, Bam!! I have passed on a few visits the last few years
because of poor condition of the road! Hour and a half? And the beer doesn't get foamed up or spilled?!! I'm happy for locals and visitors. With
all the construction of hwys and roads many parts of Baja are changing after a long time as a one horse town. When is the celebration Party?!
!n. How about a Nomad Shindig?! Smiles Tio

No question that having the entire length paved will bring more visitors to your little piece pf paradise. But as mentioned, most important, it is a
godsend for the locals.
When does the new Ritz Carlton begin construction?

the Vizcaino to Asuncion turnoff part....the pot holes have been filled and it's better than ever...no problemas except it is narrow and ya gotta
watch for some dunes on the sides in places and some bumpy parts but pretty darn fine.
