Off Road to Bahia Guadalupe
Using Google Earth I followed the dirt road from the LA Bay hwy across Luguna Agua Amarga, almanac pg 21, up to Mesa de Yubay and out the wash to
Bahia Guadalupe. I attemped this a few years ago but never made it to Mesa de Yubay.

In the top of the previous pix there is a dark rock. This is the rock where you join Mesh de Yubay. From here you follow the wash to the Sea of
Cortez.

This pix is at Bahia Guadalupe. A few miles before here the road exits the wash on the north side.

Tom-----Good show-----
------the beach shown looks rocky, and my only visit there 23 years ago (or so) by tin-boat confirmed that it is indeed large cobble rock.
Do you know if there are any "sand" beaches on Bahia Guadalupe?

good work TW
Neal Johns and I plus a few others will be in this general area in two weeks - just looking for new and interesting places to have as a destination.
This just might do it.
I'm heading to google earth in a little while.
Neal - are you reading this?

Barry I don't know about the sand beaches. I plan on going in there some time before summer. Maybe John and Neal can info us as to the conditions.
When I was looking at this on Google Earth I was trying to spot the helicopter that went down but the resolution is just not good enough unless maybe
your trained to do that kind of stuff.
Google Earth is really a neat program. Lou I spotted a wash where Matomi meets the hwy that runs southwest starting at 30-27-55x114-43-21 called El
Canelo, almanac pg 14. At 30-15-36x114-50-21 it passes very close to what looks like a mining dig at 30-15-10x114-50-25. From the mining dig there is
a road or series of roads that lead you back thru El Ronoso and Guayaquil to hwy1. Also west to San Juan de Dios. I was trying to find the Bill
Nichols trail which I assume starts near Playa la Costilla in the Los Heme wash. But I never could spot a trail.

I've looked at your waypoints Tom and looks very interesting - when do you want to try it? Of course GoogleEarth misses a few of the boulders in the
washes but what the hay

Coincidentally
I am planning that trek myself. Should be a fun one you guys. Look at the pins I put in these photos. There is one track that leads down the arroyo to
the north from the top of the fan. There is another track that cuts over about halfway down the fan in case your using the southern approach or miss
the top cutoff.
