go see the Capilla at Secundo Bosque next time
24.839573°, -110.770980°
more importantly, visit the Amadors at Primer Bosque
24.835997°, -110.778920°
bring gifts (lighters, brushes, zip lock bags)
that family is straight line Spanish soldiers
it will be an enchanting visit
have them show you their garden and well

brushes are one of the best gifts you can bring

Very cool. Just a few miles down the road from La Soledad.


4x4abc - 8-14-2021 at 12:35 AM

now this could be a cool moto side trip
close to San Evaristo
access for 4x4 is wiped out
I hiked it a few years back
leads to abandoned Rancho Los Palmares
caves, palm trees, water, Camino real

Interesting... The road is shown on the CalTopo site (Mex topo maps) to Las Palmares, but the ranch is listed as abandoned.

I'll be happy to share some of my secrets
but I can no longer hike - like alone ride bikes
it is 4x4 or nothing for me

No worries Harald. I don't ride anywhere that my truck can't be close by.

Early next year might be the best time?

Rental RZR by the blue shrimp on the way to San Evaristo.






StuckSucks - 8-18-2021 at 04:08 PM

Riding between San Felipe and Gonzaga, we bumped into the weathered The Mary V:



As if that weren't enough, I found a couple Midshipmen on the beach and decided one attached to the front fender of my bike would make me look bad-axe. No?


JZ - 8-18-2021 at 09:50 PM

Awesome pics SS.


My MX friend did something similar the day we tried to ride the Agua Verde back door to Constitucion.

Not Baja. But we rode at Valley of the Gods in Utah last year.





bajatrailrider - 8-20-2021 at 09:28 AM

as i told you before I have safe place to park any size rig and toys. Our very own David K and me went to Hot Springs here had a good time. Most moto and razor routes I feel some of best rides in Mexico. As I have keys to locked gates because Im local. area so large could play weeks. I have never seen a moto or razor in this area ever haha . Let alone anybody else did see lone horseback rider. Never see any tire tracks but my own . So we will enjoy

bajatrailrider - 8-20-2021 at 01:33 PM

San Vicente Harold hour past Ensenada . We can 4x4 but not all routes are loop rides .Some routes stop then only moto. Still you could see many interesting routes. I don't believe the roads are on maps .

The cemetery is on the hill, northeast of the mission, and not part of the self-guided tour path system. In two of my photos, you can see some white grave markers on the hill (Photos #7 & 10). They would all be post-mission period, I think.

Staying on the paths, I took these photos in June 2017. The last two are from inside the little museum there:

CRF230 in the pic by the San Rafael sign.

The one in the pic with the quad might be a 150. I forget what it was. Someone stole it out of my truck at Best Buy. Was only in the store 15 mins. Unbelievable.

Very kind, Larry.
It has been great meeting and four-wheeling with you.
You help others, too! Your giving me those vise grips got me home after my brake fail at El Coyote. I also appreciated your hospitality in San Vicente, very much.
