Just to add to the story. In 2 weeks I and 15 others in 2 vans depart from Puerto Peñasco Sonora and travel up the coastal highway towards San Luis Sonora, then we head along the border road Highway 2 up the Rumerosa to Tecate Baja California. At Tecate we turn south and go through the beautiful wine country of Valle de Guadalupe where you will find over 57 places to try local wine (we only stop at 2 on the trip) Then we overnight in Ensenada. Then we go to Guerrero Negro for whales and Ignacio for history. Here's the cool part. On the return trip we make a right at Chapala and take the dirt road from the Pacific side of the Baja to the sea of Cortes' side, along the way we stop at a desert outpost known as Coco's corner to have a cold one and a short break, we sign the visitors log like people have been doing for over 50 years, then we carry on. We meet back up with pavement about 7 miles later and make our way to the sea so we can stay in Gonzaga Bay. We stay one night in Gonzaga and on our way home we stop in San Felipe for Breakfast then head up 5 North to 4 East which takes us through agricultural areas where we may stop on the side of the road to eat fresh cooked carnitas, or whatever we see that we want. Then the farm roads eventually tie us back into Highway 3 and the coastal highway and before we know it we are back in Peñasco. This is a 6 day, 2100 mile adventure that I have taken 4 years in a row now and it is fun and educational and absolutely beautiful.
