Another update on the road to BOLA.

Hear is a quick update, Gonzaga is plugged with yellowtail. Microbait keeps them from chasing bigger lures, but I will bet my soul they would eat your fly. The following is a road condition rep[ort for all you BOLA BOUND guys. Enjoy amigos.

Yesterday afternoon 28th of December 2018. We left La Poma, 8miles north of Gonzaga Bay to pick up friends in Chapala. It had been 5 months sincew I hAd been on that road from the 5 to the 1. WOW we left camp at 3 pm, drove to Chapala and picked up sopme family members. Wes spent 30 minutes talking in Chapala then hearde back to La Poma. We arrived in camp at 5pm. Yes a two hour round trip with a 1/2 hour rest stop. That is a 140kn round trip. So we averaged 70kn/hr. There is one two and a half minute stretch of dirt left and it smooth. The biggest thing we noticed was that when we got to Chapala and turned onto the 1 was that the 1 was very narrow compaired to the 5.

I am guessing hear but When the finish the bad spots on the 5 from San Felipe to Gonzaga, the stretch that Rosa helped tear up. The trip from San Felipe to the 1 at Chapala which is 200kn should be an easy drive, taking less then 2.5 horas. And on top of the great road condition it is a beautiful drive. Feb, March is the expected date finish date for the full San Felipe to Chapala section.

Towing a boat through San Felipe or big motorhome is a breeze RIGHT NOW and will only get better as we enter 2020. The trip to BOLA, Bay of Los Angles will be about 3 hours QUICKER from San Diego through Mexicali to BOLA. Making that tip a easy single day trip down or back. This should ba GREAT news for the SoCal fisherman.

For those of you that have been listening to rumors of the bad road, I do not believe them, yes there are some SMALL dirt workarounds but all are short and passable on a skate board. My friend just brought donw of those little cars that look like a roller skate. San Diego tho La poma 6.5 hours. The raods are the best I have seen them in the LAST 30 years. Safe travels amigos.
