Rock art locations are in several books, many by Harry Crosby. A search on Nomad will give names and locations of many. I did a post on rock art sites
next to or near roads.
As for other "history," there are old mines and missions from the 1700s to 1800s. Even mines from the 1900s are now historic as we near the year 2018.

Looks like Pete Basingr is about 51 minutes ahead of record pace.
Somebody give that boy a bottle of water, will you!
He started to ride his bicycle in Tecate 8 days 16 hours 6 minutes ago.
He is near Rancho Santo Domingo, about 70 miles north of Cuidad Constitucion right now.

We chatted with a solo rider today about 12 miles out from Mulege (as I was fixing a front flat!). 26 days on the route, somewhere here in M this
evening.

about 14 minutes seperate the 2 of them,
is the record being broken?
If he sleeps less than 6 hours, he will have a better lead.
Wonder if he knoes about the fresh water spring a mile or so south of San Evaristo?

It all comes down to the amount of sleep he gets tonight.
If he sleeps less than 7 hours, he wakes up with a lead.
Some of these guys sleep 3 or 4 hours a night and pedal there bicycles 200 miles a day, for days on end.
Give the cycles a little space, will you, and maybe a bottle of water too.

We ran into several groups last year while ridding our motorcycles. Our group always slows way down and the guy ridding sweep stops to make sure they
have water and supplies they need. Nothing but respect for people doing Baja on a bicycle..I'm probably good for thirty miles a week on mine, it would
take me a year to pedal to the tip!

¨Riding the 1,700-mile Baja Divide is an ambitious plan, backed by a progression of family adventures. The kids have grown up in the wilderness, with
over 500 nights camped under the stars during journeys from the Arctic to Patagonia. Our family adventures started when the kids were toddlers and we
haven’t looked back, except to check that we are still together!¨

Just met a young couple from Colorado along the upper Seven Sisters that were riding the Baja Divide - first I ever heard of it. We passed them on
the way in from Catavina and had a brief chat, and couldn't believe it when they pedaled up to our campsite on the coast later that day at sunset.
They said they covered 59 miles that day. Shared a couple of our cold Tecates with them - I think they enjoyed them!

From my u2u
^Hey Joe. Just wondering what tire width and size you chose? Also tubeless or tubes with sealant? I live in San Juanico and want to head out and do
some loops in this area. A fair amount of sand and lots of thorns. Thanks^
I use Orange Seal with tubeless tires. Slime tubes aint good enough, neither is adding Stans to your tubes. Stans notubes works, but I like Orange
Seal better.
The wideest tire you can fit on the bike you have. 32mm internal width rims work well with 2.4 inch tires. Old style 22mm internal width rims are to
thin for modern tubeless tires.
2.4 or 2.5 tires are not quite wide enough. 2.8 or 3 inch would be better. +tires are what they call them, you need wide rims to match the wide
tires.
If you have enough money for a new bike, try one of these, flat bars are better than drop bars on lumpy old roads.

If not, get the widest tubeless tires that fit the bike you have now.
I have been to San Juanico and seen the roads up above there. You need tubeless tires.
