The blue line is the route I would recommend, except for the section that connects all the dots in the farm country!
Whether you cross at Algodones, or Rio Colorado, staying on the toll road (Mex 2) until you reach the turn off to San Felipe is probably about the
same amount of time and eliminates a lot of potential wrong turns.
It also avoids all Mexicali traffic!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

maybe not the fatest, but Tecate is the chillest route, super easy crossing, make sure to stop and get your FMM, then a few minute drive through town
and on to a gorgeous cruise through wine country, take a day or 2 to stop and smell the grapes, mash on through Ensenada (big city) and keep taking
the 1 south all the way to Loreto, beautiful drive
watch the fuel gap between El Rosario and Guerrero Negro, if you can get ~250 miles to your tank you will be ok, if not then better to bring extra or
if you are feeling adventrous you can fill up from some of the roadside fellows in Catavina
either way, disfruta la viaje!

Tecate is better than San Ysidro for sure, but still adds about a half day to the driving time.
At Tecate, be sure to watch all your stop signs and lights, etc. Cops there are quite aggressive on getting $ out of gringos.

This is good advice.
