Todo Santos to Cabo Road conditions
Anyone have input on the road conditions and time frame to get through from one end to the other going and returning?
Need to get to the US Consulate this week for a notary.
Hope it is open and operating.
Thanks.

There are several areas of hardpacked dirt road to navigate, and possibly a stop or two for equipment moving, but generally ok. Plan a full hour
between TS and entry to Cabo. My guess is it's the same going and returning

Thanks.
Too early, I guess to be posing questions.
Sure it would be the same coming and going! duh!

Not necessarily. Could be detours and waits coming that are not there going.
50 minutes from Pescadero to the first Pemex in Cabo. Not a big deal.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Do you know that the Counsolate has moved to the shopping center at the Palmilla in San Jose?... It might be easier to go down the other side through
Los Barriles....

No, did not know that.
Knew a new Consulate Office opened, but didn't know where.
And of course the web site has not been updated.
And the other winger is - I have to take a friend to Todo Santos, and so have to go that way instead of the Los Barriles side. DRAT!
And on top of that, I haven't been to that area since 1973 or 4. And then went in a 1955 Cessna 180 from Mazatlan.
Thought maybe I would drive to the outskirts, park the truck and take a taxi. http://forums.bajanomad.com/images/smilies/eureka.gif

Mula...won't be that big a deal. From La Paz to Todos is nice 4 lane. Give yourself an hour to Cabo, construction is annoying but not really bad.
Going to Palmilla you bypass downtown Cabo. Probably an hour and a half Todos to Palmilla.

The bypass will be wonderful.
Thanks.
Don't know why the thought of driving in Cabo scares me.
I've been driving and piloting all over Mexico since the 1970's.

It's not really a bypass, you just don't go in! Maybe someone else knows if there are signs telling you where to turn for San Jose. I don't look
anymore.

Yes - there are signs and the route through town is good - just pay attention. You might want to use Google map and check out your route.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.
