Kennon Road and Big Trucks

[niky]

hoy niky, i still remember what you posted about baguio drivers on E150s sometime back!

btw, a kennonball run is always short and sweet! and p.s. too, i'd still pick a lynx rs over a mazda 3 anytime...

Sata Rosa to Tagaytay... short and scary...

The Mazda3 is actually pretty good. Once you get over the added weight, medyo mas maganda ang handling niya over rough roads. The best over bad roads, though, is the Focus... great suspension compliance and handling at the same time. Once you get used to the slower-than-RS steering, ang ganda ng handling niya, very predictable.

But those two cars are still heavier and slower, in the end. Hinihintay ko lang ang manual versions or yung 2.0 turbodiesel bago mag-trade-in...

ikaw naman hanren... pagdating ng junction parati ka yatang right turn!

Yes, often..papunta ng san fabian going to dagupan..
Daming tao ngayon dito sa Baguio..traffic is horrible..dami din tao sa John Hay.

Anyone here know how's the general situation there AFTER Christmas? Mas konti na ang tao, I would think?

[k2tingx]

those who insist taking kennon road, try morning trip,medyo konti lang ang trucks that period..

everywhich way, merong truck.. so ingat na lang sa pag-overtake, kung hindi clear, then wait..what is few minutes you save kung ilalagay mo naman sa alanganin ang buhay mo?

We usually go there after the new year. Marami pa ring tao. Pero okay rin dahil lifted ang kanilang number coding....

We're goin on Dec30, me, wife, yaya, 2 small kids, altis manual ang drive. Kennon o Marcos?

[odell]

sa marcos highway ba wala maxado potholes compared sa kennon road?

magbaguio kase kame ng family ko after ng christmas and i will follow lang kaya i wanted to bring my camry.. 30 series.. kaya ba? hehe

[gecotbonjo]

happy holidays guys.
It would be best to take Marcos highway as it is safer and better. I would take Kennon road though with a van and during the early part of the day.Lots of people are expected most especially during weekends . By the way , I'm form Baguio. Safe journey anf happy trails.

kennon road is relatively well paved these days.

re the kennon versus marcos thing, it's just a matter of preference. if you have series 50 tires or lower, you are better off using marcos highway.

odell, marcos highway is 99.99% pothole free. the .01 % potholes (3 potholes yun, pare) are located in two corners after the maoasoas section before pugo, la union town proper.

mayles, mag-marcos highway ka na lang.

Hello. Sa tingin madami pa rin kasi masyado ma traffic lalo na yung sa central business district. Sa SM Baguio kasi clearance sale nila hanggang dec 30 so I would still expect people from nearby provinces to come up here.

Kahapon nga sinara na SM parking kasi hindi na kaya yung dami ng sasakyan..

Anyway, Kennon or Marcos Highway? Marcos Hway is still better lalo na sa mga hindi pa sanay..may mga 'potholes' din sa sentro ng daan dahil ninakaw ng mga kawatan yung mga cats eye...
