We have made it through and Yes it is open and the Sunset was as promised Amazing!
No Green Flash Tonight though!
A comment on the Roads South of San Carlos !
From Empalme though to Obregon , some rough sections but generally acceptable.
Obregon to Navajoa peri ferric West!
15 D is wonderful Concrete...a few short Sinlgle lanes for Bridge construction ,but excellent and easy to get the rig rolling at 95 Kmh!
The western Periferico never changes , despite rumours that it is under repair it is still a crappy piece of road!
the eastern Periferico is in better shape ,but has the usual delays and diversions around broken down vehicles and such!
Once on the Road to Huatabampo things improve once again until You attempt the Bypass! Here once more the maintenance department has let Us all down! Potholes and Non Working Traffic Lights are the worst annoyances.
Then the Road out to Hautabampo has those bloody great Topes every 100 metres or so!
We call that section Topelabampo ! Why they had to ruin a perfectly good stretch of road with all those freaking Topes is beyond Me!
Any way once past the Topes, the road again resembles a nice country drive!
The El Mirador is Open and the Sand is Smooth, Beach clean , and the Free Margarita is Now a Free Whatever kind of Drink You want!
There were three Rigs here and We make Six!
Adios for now....
