El CAMINO REAL, from space! (North from Santa Gertrudis)


This area of Baja, with many flat plains lends itself well for camino construction that is easy to spot from above!

The old trail heading northwest, climbs up this steep hill from where the El Arco auto. road merges with it, just west of the mission...
ECR north from Sta. Gertrudis-1

ECR north from Sta. Gertrudis-2

ECR north from Sta. Gertrudis-4

ECR north from Sta. Gertrudis-5

ECR north from Sta.Gertrudis-6

In the next link, the ECR crosses the Guillermo Prieto/San Francisquito auto. road, it is difficult to see...
ECR north from Sta. Gertrudis-7

In this link, the ECR crosses the El Arco/ San Francisquito auto. road...
ECR north from Sta.Gertrudis-8

Here the ECR crosses Arroyo la Palma (Baja Almanac Map 25, W-2) as it heads north for San Borja...
ECR north from Sta. Gertrudis-9

To be continued!

I remember seeing the trail going off the present road to Sta. Gertrudis--its quite big there!
