TECATE ROAD --- HWY-3 ROAD REPORT
This just in from the Mystery Nomad Reporter. I left out a few political opinions to avoid useless, worn-out rebuttal:
---------------------------
"I came back up through valle de guadalupe Monday morning at 4 am., through rain AND fog. Road in great condition, but still no road stripes or side
marker reflectors. Only 2 very short sections left to be paved.
There has ALWAYS been a military checkpoint 20 miles north of the actual town of
guadalupe(about 40 miles out of Ensenada), or as long as I can remember.
As of Monday, March 7th, IT WAS GONE. There were NO military check points on the entire 75 mile route back country road, which is the backdoor into
Tecate. Drive west from there and you back-door into TJ, east of there back-door into Mexicali. There is usually a military check point on the libre
(free road) into Mexicali from Tecate; don't recall if there is one on the quota. There are usually no check points on the libre to TJ, and never on
the quota, at least that i have witnessed."

Glad to see the road is about done for paving. Drove down first part of November and back first part of December. Growing up driving Oregon logging
roads & gravel BLM roads certainly have helped me "love" any Baja road.

Planning to take this road and have some stopovers at the wineries. Looking for camping anex to or close to the wineries if at all possible.
Any suggestions are welcome.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

About a year ago, there was a Nomad member in the middle of the Guadalupe valley who was willing to let anyone camp at his location in exchange for
looking after his property when he left for the US.
Don't remember who it was. Perhaps one of the other Nomads remembers who it was. Perhaps if you do a search on Nomads under the "Valle De Guadalupe"
and read the posts from last year, you'll come across who it was.

There's a campground at Rancho Sordo Mudo, just north of the town of Guadalupe.
Sordo Mudo is a facility for deaf and mute on Hwy-3, left side going north, and the campground is across the highway. If, while heading toward
Tecate, you get to the large Domeq Winery, you went a bit too far.
