BAJACAT'S TRIP REPORT #3 LA TRINIDA CAVE PAINTINGS

BAJACAT - 4-1-2010 at 10:19 AM

MARCH 24- With a late start, we are off to Mulege to get some gas and at the same time to seearch for breakfast, wich we found at the gas station, this guys was selling stingray birritos along with bean& cheese, ummm I think i gain about 10 pounds on this trip from all the side of the road eating..ok back to the story, the road we where looking it's name THE ICE HOUSE RD pretty simple ha, we find the road and with directions on hand I manage to get lost in the desert for 6 miles and end up in a racnh house nama Santa Clarita, way off the road i was suppose to be in, I back track and ask a rancher and he points me to the the right road.13 miles later from Mex 1 we reach La Trinidad. for this trip you need to hire a INAH guide at Mulege i was told this by the ranch care taker...or they wont show you the paintings they are not allowed by INAH...this road it's really ruff i didn't lower the air in my tires and broke a retaining bolt for my left front shock...:fire:(33 dollars for a damme bolt dealer special order only)
ROAD TO LA TRINIDAD

ONE OF THE FEW SIGNS TO LA TRINIDAD

THE ENTRANCE TO THE CANYON
