Baja Pole Line Road: Moto takes recent GoPro video atop Neal John's "Bad Hill!"
This route took an absolute beating! My short wheelbase TJ Rubicon on 35's was hopelessly stuck while traveling downhill! At minute 1:55 is where I
high-centered. At minute 3:50, the Moto gets second thoughts!!
Here's the Baja Pole Line Road in all it's glory!!
I wonder where he got the idea it was a telegraph road?
Earlier, when I replied to this on Facebook I was looking at it on my phone... while it still doesn't quite seem to be Bad Hill, as I can't believe it
rained so so much this last winter to wash so much dirt away that hasn't washed away in the previous 73 years... that not only could we all drive it,
but also pull that Ford Bronco down that, just 2 years ago!
One thing that was clearly visible from the top of the grade was Borrego Mountain, and I don't see it on the helmet cam... but he is looking down
mostly.
Only if it was a loop. We were on our way home and only stopped to ride a few hours. It would be a good ride to continue up el mano and over to valle

If you do loop ride Count me in but I wont ride my 450. I will take the little 250
for the rocks looks nasty.
Wow, that's in a lot worse shape than our run a few years ago. David, probably a big thunderstorm did that--sometimes they just sit in one spot and
pour (after living in Texas for some time I'm a bit familiar with them, I remember one parked itself over Marble Falls, TX and rained 19 inches in 24
hours. The Pedernales River downstream had hundred year old Bald Cypresses torn up and debris 30 feet high in the trees that survived).
