I ran both the widow maker Santa Maria trail and the road between Mikes and coyote in the last 2 months. . Mikes to coyote is a lot tougher than the
other one. Non stop rocks for 10 miles now.

Looking for that video that disappeared of the moto riders that went down the ECR from the mission. Who were the riders?

The video was called Mission Trail on You Tube. It was disappointing when it was taken down.

Heading down to the area this week and I was doing some recon of some trails we want to ride and found this. Not sure if it is the same as the
original video but it is Cargo Connection.

Wicked rough and rocky for motorbikes!
Since the video doesn't show all of it (the beginning or end), it is hard to tell. The Cargo Trail (aka Antelope Spring Trail) was commissioned by
Franciscan President (and now Saint) Junípero Serra, in May 1769 when he traveled overland from Loreto to San Diego. We also called it 'Serra's Cargo
Trail'... It is included on the Benchmark Baja Atlas, as a branch of El Camino Real.
Serra knew that a shorter supply line from Loreto to his new missions was important. This 'Cargo' trail leads from Bahía San Luis Gonzaga to the El
Camino Real, northwest of Mission Santa María... to supply the next missions beyond Santa María. The missionaries had a warehouse built on the shore
of Gonzaga Bay. The outline of it is still visible. Dr. Eric Ritter did a dig there and wrote a paper on it. The Cargo Trail begins there and goes
west.
The only Baja Nomad I know who has traveled the entire Cargo Trail (by mule) is Baja Bucko. I will send her this link... and hopefully she will
recognize the parts shown???!!!
Oh, and no, it isn't the same trail as the other video had shown. That was the El Camino Real, east of Mission Santa María... but about as difficult
looking!
