Yeah the shoulders are scary, but I ran into a widebody Wanderlodge
down there on the beach, so it can be done by much larger Birds than
mine. Luckily the truck drivers are extremely skilled at giving as
much room as possible. On the other hand, some don't hesitate
passing you (going the same direction), sometimes in unbelievably
risking situations. When they pass you going the same direction you
get the chance to see just how close the two vehicles get on the
narrow road. Put it this way, it's a good thing the side mirrors are
at different heights.
Baja is a balance of risk and reward. Sometimes the perceived risk
was higher then I was comfortable with, but justified (so far) by the
rewards. Not to mention diesel was $2/gal.
