it is really worth spending at least one night.

Don't have any pot, guns or ammo or illegal drugs! That is all they are checking for. Checkpoints last July were at:
32 miles north of San Felipe
1 mile north of Gonzaga Pemex
El Tomatal junction north of Jesus Maria.
San Ignacio.
North of Loreto about 12 miles.
Near La Paz.
That was it on that route south
Others were at El Rosario mesa, near San Vicente, and north of Santo Tomas. They can change!

44 miles per hour average speed? Are there restaurants at every cloverleaf overpass, and rest areas? 44 mph is what I average on Mex 1. They must have
improved that road a lot since I drove it last.
