Just wish I was going with you. Came north from South America crossing to the Baja from Mazatlan to LaPaz. There are two ferries, the one the truckers use (three letters name that I forgot) is much cheaper. Was told that there is a ferry about 500k north of Mazatlan that is half the cost. Once in Mazatlan look up Mar Bell hotel good place, north of ferry dock and south of most of the spendy stuff.
As for the passes, I kept checking the weather forecasts and shot from the Mexican boarder to SW Washington in two days, no snow, no rain. That was just before Christmas. The I-5 passes are normally clear but you have to watch the weather forecasts and don't spend the night in the middle or you can get caught.
Did not say how much time you had to get there but if you have the time run through Belize and enter Guat. from there (30 miles gravel).
