Quiz...Where is this?


Yes, the road does zig zag all the way to the horizon. First hint to follow if necessary.

There is a surf break near here.

Vgabundo,
My first guess is off....as the road doesn't zig-zag south of Cadaje...it is pretty much a straight stretch south to San Juanico...but I think it is in that area as the mountains in the distance might be La Purisima


Help us out!!! Where is it?

Ged, you are certainly close enough to be called "The Man".

Maybe twenty minutes SOUTH of Scorpion Bay as I recall. Before the big river crossing?

That ride ended that day in San Nicolas' on the other side of Baja!

Here's my partner in crime KT proprietor of the famous NorCal Jewish Taco Stand "Poncho and Lefkowitz" tracking up San Nicolas beach.

Barry...the sign has a whole different significance. My step son handed me a stack of stickers for his 4 x 4 shop and said put these where if one of my friends sees it some day they'll say "How the Hell?...."

Its the green dot. The picture is his proof!:lol:

Vgabundo,
Thanks for the confirmation...I now have a new bragging right amongst my local Baja brethren....

Sorry you had to leave San Nicholas....

The road repair you recognized from 2005:

Leo, How small is it, and how adventurous are you?

That is La Ramadita. There is what passes for a launching ramp there.

The road in from the highway 18 k has only one hair pin, and several steep into and out of side arroyos.

A friend pulled a 26 foot sailboat in there, and I think Diver from this board, took a good sized trailer in there.

Tail draggers are a problem.
