If you have a jeep set up right and study the maps, appears there are several possible routes.... Be prepared for multi day trip.

Not yet, first cross over point is La Turquesa Canyon, a few miles north of Coco's Corner. A old mine grade climbs up the mountainside west of the
turquoise mine and meets Hwy. 1 near the Pedregroso boulder hill.
The El Camino Real east of Mission Santa Maria is on the side of a canyon or along the ridge top... it has been ridden by a few motorcycles for years
(but is not an easy ride). It is physically not wide or level enough for anything wider than a bike. Unlike other level section of the Camino Real to
the south, built by the Jesuits, that have been bulldozed over for car use.
The El Camino Real here in SoCal, is not only dozed over, but typically a 4 lane paved street! Where's the outrage!!!

Not yet... I did get an email from Mexicoma that one of his riders does not want to ride the trail (not sure if the Bill Nichols Trail or the Mission
Trail), so an alternate route may be done.
I am on his SPOT email list and he said I can share their location with you all here...

They are all along the streets and highways designated as El Camino Real, today... They were made pretty secure. I hadn't heard about a lot being
stolen. Max (my co-author) is the expert, I will ask him.

I know that you do not look at me kindly but please do not not post his spot notes. You have upset more then one nomad with this and there is really
no point to it unless you just need to be "That Guy", let this thread die. Sharing can only go so far. Let this trip be for the guys that do it. I
am a butt head don't be one too....

Ride changed, no trails, no drama... well almost no drama!
The ride has been changed for now, got a Facebook message and photos (L.A. Bay, Pancho's San Rafael, Rancho Escondido) from MEXICOMA at Guerrero
Negro: "Hey Dave. Had to change route do to my buddy. All good. Weather is awesome...my buddy had issues in mud".

I was hoping we would get a real adventure trip report out of this, well there is hopefully a next time.
It would be nice to get an update on San Fancisquito if they pass by there.
Thanks for keeping us up to date David !!!!
