Cool motorhomes, don't think it would make it to the mission anymore. Two years ago it was a hard ride back out on our KTM 500's, a serious climb on
two of the hills.

LOL, a 250 would have been even better then the 500. That is a rocky run out as well, but the big hill is a heck of a climb.

The stair steps make most all bikes wheelie. My bike stays planted  not the rider.
Out of control but on throttle.

Why I named it the Widowmaker! That grade, going back to Santa Ynez, a mile from the mission, knocked us of our rides, drew blood, back in 1999.

Good name for that hill, the Rkluse clutch is a life saver on some of those rocky climbs. Took me many years to try one but I don't think I will run
without one on my smaller bikes. Really want to go back out there in the SXS, it would make quick work of that hill.

Art did a great job on those rigs,
advrider , that’s a big house in a small box 
We’ve been having great times in a small ultra lightweight fiberglass trailer that the Suburban can tow across beaches and drag into mountains .

it's a short stretch of eroded road bed with a bunch of rock/cobbles/boulders to crawl over, located east of catavina on road to mission santa maria.
your grandma can walk up it in her flip flops. your truck or bike will likely get dinged up driving it.
Woke!

Goat has the area right but not the description. There are at least two on that ride to the mission, down is a ride but up is a big climb. I've
run/rode the Rubicon trail about 50 times, that hill is no joke. It's covered with a nice layer of sand granite dust to had to the fun.
Goat, do post pictures of the last time you were there so you can show us how easy it is. Better yet post any picture that you took in Baja.

not any of the stuff built out of wood or mass produced. Craftmanship costs money, just like a good paint job or one from miracle!
And Baja!

Wish I never sold my Kamparoo. Best trailer I ever owned.

We love ours, only going to sell to upgrade to hard side but not until we are sure that's what we want. The Kamparoo and Aussie swags are very hard to
find, I think we have the only Aussie swag in the US?
