Heading down the day after Valentine's. It's been 5 years since I rode from Scorp Bay via San Isidro to the Comondus, then Loreto. Sounds like the trail is in great shape, at least for a 501 Husky. Has anyone done the connector from SJC, NE to to the San Isidro Hwy 1 trail. It's about a 24 mile section through El Picacho? I'm looking for ways to work my back North from Loreto without going back through Scorp Bay. I was looking at a few ways to pick my way back through the Raymundo wash or I'd like to try from San Jose Magdalena over to El Patrocinio/tres palmas, etc. I know the area around Guadalupe ruins has been in pretty bad shape fro years.

Thanks all, Mike

I try and monitor this and several other forums for just that information and have seen nothing posted.
I specifically asked about the El Picacho route on this forum recently but heard nothing.
Another short lived option was the Guajademi route between San Isidro and Mulege which was recently reported as impassible.
As you probably know, the route W out of Mulege, the N and NE thru San Jose de Magdalena is impassible north of La Presta and will probably never be repaired or replaced. A shame because it was a lovely route.
Everything I have read about the La Presta W to Tres Palmas (through San Juan de la Pila) options sounded like all but impassible. Not sure I remember hearing of success on that route (or variations) in several years. Even Raymundo, while very useable sounded somewhat blown out and tedious.

My comments are for a good rider on good equipment, lightly loaded.

I hope others will comment and we learn of improvements.

Another thought is to ask in the BN Offroad Forum

And welcome to BN, it's refreshing to read such an informed and specific 1st post!

Thanks McNut. \I've been a member here since 2006 but always forget to visit/post but lately I have found such good info. I'll be sure to share my more interesting trail reports when I get back. Used to fly in with my dad in the very early 60's to Serinidad and spent a lot of time in Sanispac at a fishing camp run by a gringo and his Mexican wife, I am sure he is long past and I can't remember his name, he had a barge we would go out on overnight. A long history in the peninsula, still love to dirt bike there.
