La Paz in March
Planning on taking a group of volunteers down to our clinic in La Paz, leaving on March 4th from San Diego airport. Spending 5 days driving south, stopping to visit some points of interest along the way (including whale watching in Guerrero Negro). Reply if interested for the proposed itinerary.

Which way are you headed down (1 or 5)?
-
Kinda depends on what the volunteers want to do. I myself would prefer Mex 1, so I could show them San Vicente Ferrer, our Flying Sams clinic at Los Pinos Ranch, La Lobera, El Marmol, etc. They’ve always flown down and never had a chance to see the sights. Also planning on taking them whale watching at Ojo de Liebre and maybe a side trip out to BahÃa Asunción, La Bocana, Abreojos and on to San Ignacio. The Loreto mission and museum, San Javier, etc.

If this is their first time, definitely take them down the Transpeninsular or it will probably be their last trip as well, believing there isn’t much to see or do. Plus some people need to make frequent potty breaks and stops for snacks. Leave the 5 to those frequent travelers whose only doal is to get from the border to BCS as fast as possible.

We have taken the 5 several times in the past but my wife has gotten tired of the very long stretch of nothing but desert with no absolutely service coupled with recent car jacking events near Gonzaga, so we now stick to the Transpeninsular all the way down.
The most difficult part is dealing with the traffic from Colonet to San Quintin so what we do now is just plan our stopovers there in San Quintin. We go out for a nice dinner and thenget a very early morning start the next day to avoid most of the traffic.
That way it really makes the trip/traffic not so much of an issue and we now really enjoy sticking to the Pacific side again.

I’d ask them what they’d like to see. I go both routes (1 vs 5) and it just depends on where I’m headed and how much time I have.
-
Exactly what we are doing now but my wife isn’t so crazy about the 5.
-
Yup, I have asked but so far have received only one reply (in favor of Mex 1 – which I’m leaning towards anyway). Many more sights to see on this route IMO.

If you are going to BCS with no planned stops north of GN and your vehicle is in good shape with new tires, go the 5. Otherwise probably best to stick to the Transpeninsular with more services / help and places to eat and stay over.
