TW let's discuss possible riding areas for Friday. I suggest we leave from my dads house K43 around 8:00ish. I'm game for 80-120 mile ride. Gonzaga,
back country whatever..I just wanna ride.. Paul
TMW - 1-27-2005 at 12:45 PM
Paul I'm game. I'm not picky where we ride.

Would you guys consider riding out a ways on the Bill Nichols motorcycle trail?
It leaves the Gonzaga road south of Puertecitos (about 6 1/2 mi.) just past Playa la Costilla... probably continues on from the new mine in there...
Uses Arroyo Los Heme... over the Sierra Santa Isabel (keep your eyes open for the lost mission)... and will take you out to El Metate/ San Juan de
Dios area and all the way to San Quintin... so I hear!?!

David, I'm game if Paul is. We could check it out. I went in there as far as I could with my Toyota the day before our Matomi trip.
tunaeater - 1-28-2005 at 06:45 PM
I'm game for that. What's the terrain like ? TW show me the way and I will follow. My dad will join us on his quad.
David K - 1-28-2005 at 06:49 PM
Paul, I have no idea... But, it may not be passable in a quad???
This is a trail that will be in Kacey Smith's 2nd Edition of 'All About Your Whereabouts' Baja GPS Guide.

Try contacting ArvadaGeorge - He's ridden a lot of these trails and quite possible that one.
If you're watching George, got any dope??

David, Kacey's web site says the 2nd edition won't be out until December 05. I thought she said a year ago it would be out in Dec.04.
I know Tim Morton has ridden it, he told me where the turn off was and explained the terrain. I'll ask him if a quad can do it.
