BTW, Drove westbound thru Huatamote and back via east valley road. The usual difficult place where Parral joins Huatamote -slow and easy passage.
Another one further east that had a few rocks to drive around.
Overall easier passage than last year.

Is this the north/south road that Neal Johns illustrated on his Baja Almanac, and I copied onto mine when I was at Neal's place ("Down Easy")?

The track I gave Ken has not been proven to be good yet, it is possibly a route that we can try. On the last Pole Line trip I noticed that there were
many tracks in the wash out of Mano Jct. On the map that we use it shows the wash going almost to the road that leads to the white Water Tank, I drew
in a very short section and connected the two, it also looks like it goes far enough to the east of the Ranchers place that it should not be an issue,
maybe when we get to San Felipe Jan 3 we can check it.

Paul, it shouldn't matter in this case, but Neal liked to use NDS Mexico for the map datum (as it matched the Baja Almanac) rather than the standard
factory datum (WGS 84) that Google Earth also uses.

Darn, I knew that and I have SW to switch back and forth and forgot to convert. You are correct that for the scale it may be close enough to get the
overall relationship of where Enmedio wash goes. I wont fix it for now. Interesting My favorite track uses Siaz is very close to Enmedia wash. It does
not surprise me that Niels start point (WP NJ) is near the traditional track west of Siaz.
I have Rich's maps, but have not figured out how to convert the map to GE. A work in progress. My last resort will be to just drive that track using
WGS84.

no need to convert - you can open any gpx file with GE
only if you want to use kmz or kml files out of Google Earth somewhere else, you may need to convert.
But that is easy: https://www.gpsbabel.org/

Thanks for the track. Replace my previous image. See my merged GE image above.

No pricing has been set. I will have a better idea after I get my limited run together and contact the people who might still be going (due to the
current Trump border threat).

Ken, I am in, so is Harvey, Jerry, and pretty sure Paul is. We don't have to leave until May so it should all be worked out by then.

Nice - I have to revamp the radios, brakes, links and exhaust, but other than that, we're about 9 weeks out.

I hope a Nomad buys the new Jeep Gladiator pickup and tests to see if it is Baja Proven!
