RSV to Ojos Negros

On March 2nd 2017 (yesterday), we had the opportunity once again to drive from RSV to Ojos Negros. The path has several areas where new creeks developed and cross the trail but it remains passable. I counted about six such creeks that were not present last year. There is a section where the path developed into a creek itself for abot 200 feet making it a very engaging drive all the way to the ecotourism park (marked by Rio check point on my map). The river at the Eco park was three times wider, the current significant but remains passable on four wheel vehicle. I'm not so sure bikes can handle such current safely though. I would not recommend to try just yet. The additional creeks, cuts through the path due to the recent rain make for an engaging ride all the way to Ojos Negros. From there we took Hwy 3 straight to San Felipe where I found some additional potholes before the federal check point. Lat night there was a Federal police check point in addition to the usual military check point. Today we plan to head south of San Felipe to Bay of LA.

For your reference, I'm driving on my Tacoma, not a 4x4. I'm also hauling my KLR so I can explore the area around B of LA on it.

Having some fun on my birthday here in Baja. 😄

What is the eco park?

It's an ecological park with cabins in the area. Sorry but I don't know what the park is called but it is closer to Ojos negros. There is also hanging foot bridge that goes across the river.
