When encountered, they can cause frustration amongst all the other traffic on the Baja 1 highway as everyone tries to get around multiple motorhomes. If you should need fuel and your logistics demand you to share a station with one of those caravans...it will take some time and they sometimes suck up all the gas the station has. You may encounter irritated or impatient commercial traffic around or interspersed with these RV Caravans...sometimes the locals drive pretty agro..take chances that you might not expect.. Driving in Baja is fun...but perhaps a bit more dangerous than in the United States...If you go with an "Agenda" a time schedule, you should expect to deviate from it. Don't be upset or expect things to be totally 'predictable'....it IS different. |
