Baja Road Report October 5, 2004

I recently drove the stretch between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. The desert is just amazing. Take your camera and take some time to stop along the way. This degree of greenery will only last a few weeks.

 

You need to keep your eyes on the road though. There is resurfacing in several places between Pescadero and Cabo. The interim phase of the repairs leaves lots of loose gravel and several cars and the second trailer of a Pemex truck have found themselves over the side. The work also serves to slow and bunch traffic and fray driver’s nerves. People passing where they should not is the result. This resulted in a fatality I passed driving north last week.

 

Once again, beware animals in the road. The stretch from Migraino to Cabo in particular. Avoid driving after dusk if you can.
