Rental sedans transiting daily. Although wash board can be 5-6" in places, the only time it's impassable is immediately after rain events. Just drop
the air down in the tires, 18lbs.

Agreed. There's quite a bit of tourist traffic from both south and north to Cabo Pulmo, so they seem to keep it in pretty good shape. The rains can
create a mess though, so keep an eye on the weather.

Negative on keeping in good shape, the only time it's consistently graded is before and after Semana Santa, at times around Christmas, and sometimes
after a race,( if the promoters pay for it).
AND in years past at the requests by the more diligent sub deligados.
But frankly, that's the way we like it, Bad roads = Good people.

You and I clearly have different definitions of "bad roads", cancamo. Anything a rental sedan can negotiate without damage is a highway by baja norte
standards.

"Bad roads = Good people"
I totally love that.
You don't typically need a 4x4. We've done it in a car many times. If you want that washboard to smooth right out, the solution can be found at 50
mph. Watch for cows, horses & goats.

This week the road was graded from Rincon to Los Frailes, Frailes to Vinorama is fair after NORRA but no issues, over the top through Palo Escopeta is
Fair to good and on to the airport good ----say 1 1/4 hours from Los Frailes to Hwy 1. The coast road from Vinorama to the pavement at Shipwrecks is
a s good as it has ever been. 10 miles from Vinorama to the pavement. Currently I go from Castillo de Arena to downtown San Jose in less than 1 hour
on the coast road.
