I rode it on a loaded down 690
Enduro and found it easier than the deep sand on Laguna del Diablo. You will get wet.

It's a really easy ride on bikes. My kid did it when he was 11 or 12. That video showed an abnormal amount of water (it's rained so much this
winter). Generally, there is a small fraction of that.

Thanks for the grat photos, David. We will be there a little later this year on a RZR run. Quote: Originally posted by David K  | Southbound, between Coco's Corner and Arroyo Calamajué (arroyo is located where the hills are in the distance, about 5 miles south)...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the edge of the arroyo, by the gold ore mill ruins, just before the road drops down into the arroyo...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The remains of the short-lived Jesuit mission church (October 16, 1766-May 1767) located on the opposite side of the arroyo from the mill ruins. See
the road dropping down to the arroyo across...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gold mill ruins as seen from the mission site...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mineral shelf just inside the canyon entrance, south from the mill and mission...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The road drives right in the streambed for a few miles.
Deepest water in July 2012...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lot's of mineral coloring in the cliffs...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lone palm tree just out of water portion of the road...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once out of the canyon and heading to Hwy. 1 at El Crucero, we find these "dancing" boojum trees...

De nada, Udo.
Living the good life?
It would be nice to see you guys again!
Miss those surprise visits of years ago.
Once again, I live right off the 76, just further east, next to the 15.

We came north thru there a few weeks ago and while many places we traveled were wet, a lot of standing water to drive thru or around, Frog Canyon was
no wetter or dryer than it has ever been that I have seen.

David, in this map, it looks like its possible to cross the mex1 and continue to the Pacific and then loop back via the 4x4 road that cuts through
Laguna Isolote. Have you documented this route?
I like to explore remote dirt tracks and beaches.

Yes. The road log (sample section Part 3 of the new road guide) is posted in the Nomad Road Conditions forum and the trip report (2017) is #4 in the
Nomad Trip Reports forum. The road west from Laguna Chapala I did not get to, but Nomads Stuck Sucks and TMW have.
