also I do not have the ramp exit and directions to the border from here but should be the same road we pass by when taking 3. if someone goes this way can you take pictures and write directions for me. again I prefer Otay Mesa off of rd2000 so i will not be going to tecate this way any more.

Directions from Ensenada to Tecate


Here is a general map of what you are doing.   I suggest that if you have a cell phone, you call a friend as you hit Ensenada and have them check the website of  the homeland security boarding crossing times.   http://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/ send that link to your friends and have them give you the crossing times of the three potential crossings.     that way you can determine which you should cross at.  Call them for an update, and call them back in 5 minutes when they have the information, after all your cell phone minutes may be expiring.   also in Ensenada the McDonalds by the walmart has open wifi. 

 


following that persons notes exiting off HWY 1 toll, at Puerto Nuevo/Cantamar exit. , this is roughly 40-50 km north of Ensenada on 1D toll road, at KM marker 50 or as you get to the first toll booth 29.5 miles ahead, you do not hit the second toll booth.; here is the google link location to this position, 32.227702,-116.919198  you will have to copy and paste.


Here is a map of the Puerto Nuevo/Cantamar sign on toll road 1D, exit there to the right, then you curl around under the road and take a right heading north towards TJ. this exit puts you on Mexico 1 free road and it is a good road. 


take a right here at the end of the off ramp heading North on the old HWY1.  Also note this road is a bit rough for a few miles



go right (right) to the north on this road several miles maybe 5-10 minutes (exactly 8.5 miles), then there may be a military check point, and immeadiately after that take a right at the below (first) stop sign it is highway 2000. see the signs below. and map after it.

You are going east on this road, it is a 4 lane divided hwy, with a huge median. Very little traffic on it except at the walmart area is but you to not have a stop sign or traffic light on it at all. Slow down by the walmart area because busses let people out right on this road and they run across. Just stay on this road till you see the sign below it is huge, you can not miss it and go forward to Tecate at it.  go straight to the toll do not exit to the right .     this will take you to Tecate.   the toll booth is in view from here, you will be taking the toll to Tecate.

Exit when you get to Tecate about 15 minutes later I think.   If someone will send me pictures of the rest in Tecate I will post them.
