Anyone know how to get to them? We are going to San Borja from Rosarito to the L A Bay road.

Thanks.

Easy left turn off the San Borja dirt road. It's a narrow and very soft sandy/gravel road down a large wash to get to the site. Be prepared for that. I'm sure folks will give more specific directions. It is worth checking out.

The Montevideo road does (did?) have a sign... it is 2 miles south of the L.A. Bay highway on the San Borja road... However if you are coming north from San Borja, go about 18 miles north from the San Borja 'driveway' off the road from Rosarito (mission is a mile in on the driveway).

It is 5.8 miles in to Montevideo... one fork at mile 3.9 turn left (ahead dead ends at a prospect).

Oh, the Montevideo road is just past a big arroyo crossing going northbound... a mile or so after passing the Agua de Higuera sulfur water spring and abandoned ranch. It is about 6 miles in to the site, the road goes right to it, on the cliff face... several paintings... explore!
