The last part of today's Rally course is really a fun drive. A friend and I went off hwy 1 at KM16 south of San Quintin and joined the course and
followed it to where it comes out at the farm east of El Rosario. At the time we came to a locked gate at the farm. The road shown on Google Earth
does not exist as shown around the farm. We dead ended trying to find it. While driving around one of the farm workers unlocked the gate and we went
thru and out to hwy 1 at the bridge.
There are a couple of abandoned ranchos with windmills along the way after the trail turns south maybe about 10 miles from hwy 1 and about half way or
so going south the road gets wider and better. There is a big ranch/farm in the area and it too has a locked gate. But the road is well maintained
from that place south.

wow, these guys are fast. I track my average speed out trail riding and it is usually around 20 mph. Lot of these guys are averaging 35 mph or more.
