Three years ago, we had the pleasure of joing Squarecircle's off road caravan through this area... I highly recommend anyone with four wheel drive to join Roy!

Here is the web page from that trip, and a few photos from it below... http://vivabaja.com/305/

Sqcircle,

What approx. time do you estimate you would arrive at Mex 1 (Popotla)? Sounds like a great day.

Ken, we had plenty of daylight still when we popped out on the coast near Cantamar in April, 2005... We went to La Fonda for dinner after a visit with Keri at the Pyramid Resort... all in daylight.

We began with a nice breakfast at Casa Vieja in Tecate, and there was no rushing at all... plenty of time for photos, check out the old Gilbert Ranch graves, four wheeling up some grades and through some rivers...
