4X4 trip

bajatrailrider - 2-11-2018 at 09:36 AM

Anyone interested in 4x4 trip mid March me and Mike from the pole line road trip. Are thinking to start from around El coyote Melings go south. I know many routes from there not on maps. We would be limited by our 4x4 trucks as jeeps more go anywhere . We may even bring a dirt bike in the bed to also ride.:)

First week of April makes it possible for me, otherwise I'll have to armchair this one.

Maybe open to April as we are retired have time, just want to go before the heat starts. Pm me if you want to set up trip.

Sounds great but my time away from home is limited until I can get things worked out. I can only say I will if I can.

You guys get the details worked out and let me know. Should be able to do an end of March or April trip. You camping or hoteling it?

bajatrailrider - 2-14-2018 at 09:05 AM

We are open to both camp or hotel. I like the hotel option only for the fact of not carrying so much cargo in the truck. I'm thinking maybe A route I know from Coyote South to Bay LA then El Arco more details later. Also Ed do you have tow strap to pull out our stuck Pick Ups. JAAAA

Are you thinking of taking the 'high road' that passes the access to San Isidoro and then turns south to reach Hwy. 1 at Km. 103+, almost 30 miles from El Rosario?

bajatrailrider - 2-15-2018 at 09:28 AM

I will be talking to Mike about route he will be here Saturday. We are open to any cool routes. That are passable with pick ups as I know many that they wont pass.

Very cool!
TW and Roy (The squarecircle) recently drove the entire route I am asking about. While Roy's Land Rover was parked from overheating, TW drove the 3-4 miles north to see the Dominican visita ruins of San Isidoro. See TW's photo of it in my book, page 216. His 2016 trip report is here: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=81801

Thank you David then I must speak to TMW me and Mike. Twice looked for the ruins on Motos could not find it. I wonder If we went on same route on our bikes they did with trucks. Some spots south looked real hard.

Maybe Roy would like to get his new Colorado 4x4 diesel dirty on this trip.

I have the itch to get out in my Jeep.:bounce:

TMW we are thinking of end of March go to Bay of LA still interested. Do you know routes from there. I have only been on moto many years ago.

TMW - 3-5-2018 at 11:20 AM

I've only been on the road out to San Francisquito and El Barril. Years ago I did the road that drops down to San Pedro then east to the main road south of San Rafael. I've been on the road to Mission San Borja many times and the rock paintings at Montevido. I've always wanted top go to Sa Gregorio southeast of the Mission but on Google Earth it appears the road is now graded and the facilities is all new.

Here is old Rancho San Gregorio, southeast from San Borja:
