Baja Road Report

Just a quick update from our readers report, every bit of the November road report holds true. Resurfacing of the road north of Guerrero Negro appears completed. Resurfacing projects north of Cabo San Lucas on Hwy 19 and north of Loreto on Hwy 1 linger, so watch for loose gravel. Aside from that, those bridge repairs and short detours mentioned in the November road report are about all challenges Holiday Drivers will face.
The desert has dried out a bit since my trip in November, but it's still a lovely drive. Please be aware of the danger of cattle in the roadway. The worst section of road for cattle is between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas on Hwy 19. This is also the busiest section of road in Baja Sur, as so many of the supplies for Cabo are trucked from the port in La Paz. Long lines of traffic form behind heavily laden trucks and drivers become frustrated and pass where they should not.
