Hwy 1 Chapala to Ensenada


Was on Hwy 1 Friday the 19th.

Road in good condition except for three problem areas.

At KM203/204 the north bound lane is washed out in an arroyo crossing.

The arroyo crossing south of Catavina is one lane until the sand is cleared out. Minor amount of water at the crossing.

The arroyo north of Catavina the concrete has buckled up and one lane crossing over it. Be careful going over it.

South of the Erendira turnoff just below KM79 there is road construction for about 4 miles.

The bog will be recharged and quite underwater, as it was for us in 2010, after that wet winter. I bet this summer rain added more... Please wait a year before going José... and maybe I can go along too to take photos of your mighty Dodge climbing the Widowmaker!

And what do you think the Widowmaker will be like after rains. You may not be able to get down it let alone get up it. Jose you may want to trade your Dodge in for a rock crawler before going.

I was thinking the same thing about the Mission road, last April it was already a very interesting trail, cant imagine washing the hillclimbs some more and filling up the swamp area... very tempting!
