Prior to arriving in La Paz, we had a close call with not being able to find a gas station, luckily we found an off-the-road station at Puerto Escondido, a huge port just past Loreto, Baha California Sur. By this time the speedometer read 179170.
We also want to mention that while driving the Baha California the roads at the start were not too bad but as we kept driving the Baha, by mid-way we realized that this drive would be quite a tough one. The mountain roads are quite narrow, very steep and every few miles we saw a cross with flowers, showing that someone had died in that area. It is a very emotional drive and vey `white knuckled´ in some areas. There are many accidents on the Baha because people are either careless, or rush the drive, or maybe even drive at night. There are cattle on the road such as: cows, bulls, goats, horses and donkeys, and they seem to simply pop up in front of you as they are not fenced off and roam freely. We were not sure if they were owned by locals or simply wild cattle. We had a couple of close calls on the drive down. This is a huge reason not to drive at night in Mexico.
