Traveling from Ensenada to Cabo
Looking for recommended stops on a two or three day drive from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas. It looks like Guerrero Negro and Loreto would divide the trip nicely into three days that wouldn't be too lon...

Some sections of the highway are snot. South of Cataviña past Laguna Chapala the road surface is very rough. I hope the work is finished next week but south of Sto Tomás 8 miles of horror grade detour took me nearly an hour. ABC bus was crawling along at 2MPH it was like a jeep trail.
Drunks love to swerve and dart after nightfall. What the hell there are no cops and zero chance of getting caught.
The SCT did a survey several years ago and found 40+% less traffic at night but a majority of accidents and fatalities. By the way on straight and level stretches it is still the custom if suffering a flat tire kn the driver's side to pull into the opposite lane and change the tire. If in a tow pickup wear seat belts. An 800 peso fine will be imposed if the PFP sees a driver sans belt.
There are some deusey speed bumps entering Guerreo Negro. Many choose the MALARRIMO RV Park on the right side about 1-1/2 miles after exiting Mex 1.
South of Sn Ignacio past Ejido Bonfíl will see a microwave tower on your left. Just past that a now unmarked downgrade begins and it is nothing to sneer at. La Cuesta del Diablo. Hazard lights low range and 15mph. Roar over the lip of that downgrade and it'll get ugly.
Nasty speed bumps now on either side of Vizcaino. Pavement missing on stretch through Sta Rosalia.
You can take your time driving down either willingly or unwillingly. I much prefer the former. Waiting for parts is a drag.
