Gonzoga to Bay of LA
Hey guys,
Me and a couple of buddies are riding from Gonzago to Bay of LA. "A" riders. I have a track I was given second hand. I have heard there is a route
there that can be almost impossible going in this direction. Want to make sure that isn't what I have. Is one of you willing to take a look at it if
I send it to you and let me know if this route will work? Anyone willing to share a fun track? Don't have much to offer in return other than a bunch
of fun stuff in California.
Thanks, Rod

Hi Rod,
It would be helpful to see the track you have. Perhaps it begins with the "Mine Pass Road" as Kacey Smith (The Lizard Lady) calls it?
Here on Nomad, it is known more as the Pioneer Mine road or the Molino de Lacy to Coco's Corner road.
Because of the mountainous terrain, I will guess the route puts you on the old gulf route south, passing the mission and into the canyon of Calamajué
and out to El Crucero. There you can take the race road and old L.A. Bay road east to Desengaño gold mine ruins and somewhere in here catch the Bill
Nichols Trail past Window Rock, Ensenada Alcatraz, El Toro copper mine and to La Gringa on Bahia de los Angeles... but all that is just my guess?

Thanks for the info. Here is the track log I have. I had to shrink it some to fit the upload size requirements.

I see JZ posted it in the North from La Gringa thread... but you saw that.
Thanks for that... and it is the route I outlined in my previous reply.
You should have loads of fun!

The soundchaser track joins the Window Rock trail before El Crucero. They follow the same line until about 2 miles before Mesa de Yubay where they
split to go around a hill sc goes around the north side and the WR trail goes to the south side. No big deal.

Same track the 5 jeeps did on 1/18 except when we got to El Crucero it was dark, so we took the highway to LAB. Good run.
Tip: convert your GPX files to USR and they always fit. Then let the readers convert back. Nothing will be lost.
