Hi David, welcome back. Nice quick trip you made there. Where is the La Turquesa shortcut road and where does it lead to?
How was the road from MX-1 through Gonzaga on to Shell Island?

Hi David, did you go down the East side to the wash? That is definatly the tough side, I have never looked at it from a 4-wheelers perspective.Von - 2-20-2007 at 04:57 PM

Hi Bob,
We talked about it in the Off Road forum... It has been called Coco's Shortcut and Kacey Smith's XR Ride (from her GPS guidebook)...
I have details in my trip report... GPS and photos! It seems very passable in a small 4WD with a little rock moving perhaps... at least the upper
half... I hiked over mile down the grade... Okay, here's one photo!

I went in from Hwy. 1 (Pedregoso area) to the high point (view point)... and hiked down over a mile... at least halfway!
