We just made a trip to Cabo San Lucas and back -- October 18th down, October 28th return. Following are various road conditions noted, and information on the checkpoints.

Santo Tomas to San Vicente the road has been re-paved and is great. In process of re-striping.

San Vicente to Colonet - Km 99 to 102 was one lane only on 10/28. Re-paving being continued.

Colonet to Camalu -- southbound side OK, northbound side very rough.

Vado 2 Km North of Catavina -- large chunks of pavement washed out. South bound lane worse than North bound side. Crawl across.

The Pemex station at Catavina is closed. The pumps have been removed. The pump at the La Pinta is operational, but had no fuel on the North bound trip.

South of Catavina, Km marker 199 to 265 -- north bound side feels like washboard, is uneven with a few small pot holes. Rough ride for campers and trailers.

Just north of Punta Prieta, approximately 30 ft. of pavement washed out in vado just north of military barracks. Covered with gravel, but not yet re-paved.

Rebuilding Pemex at Vizcaino -- still have one pump operational.

Just south of Vizcaino dirt washed across road from recent rains has not been cleared away -- makes good size tope.

Work being done on road south of Mulege - stretches of loose gravel, re-paved portions not yet striped.

Highway 19 La Paz to Cabo San Lucas:

35 Km marker, north of Todo Santos, bridge washed out. Temporary gravel road detour through vado (approx. 3/4 mile). Bridge being rebuilt - possibly 30-60 days to finish.

97 Km marker, south of Todo Santos, hard to tell if road is gone or just buried. Appears to have been graded, but still very rough going. No work being done on road.
