We had heard stories of the road leading south of San Felipe. The final 25 miles of HWY5<\/a> before reconnecting to MEX1 had not yet been paved and was under construction. Knowing that this meant a whole different thing then in America, I was not expecting any comfort on that stretch of “road”. I aired the tires down to reduce some of the rattling and we set out hoping for the best. Our convoy partners took off the night prior, opting to stay a night in Puertecitos<\/a> before tackling the road themselves. We hoped they would rescue us when Big Blue died…<\/p>\n

Two hours of dirt, gravel, and mountain passes, and we popped out onto MEX1 unscathed. We pointed South and picked up speed only to turn off MEX1 after 30 miles to head East, crossing the mountains again and arriving at Bahia de Los Angeles<\/a> late in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

After a quick review of the local RV parks in the town, we settled into Guillermo’s RV Park<\/a> for the night, which promptly ended at 6:30 PM for us. It was a long day on the road and neither of us had the will to stay awake any longer. The morning proved more to our liking.<\/p>\n
