Here's the area with the 'new' roads drawn in. Milages along each section of road we drove.

The GPS (NAD27) for the points are:

A) 30-03.44', 115-19.24' (Km. 106, El Arenoso jcn.)

B) 30-01.20', 115-20.36' (3.0 mi. from A)

C) 29-57.97', 115-20.99' (cross road, 4.5 mi. from B)

D) 29-57.36', 115-21.22' (fork, 2.1 mi. from C)

E) 29-56.39', 115-21.41' (end of road, 1.1 from D)

F) 29-54.45', 115-20.37' (end at stone mine, 4.0 mi. from D)

G) 29-57.87', 115-19.19' (near end of road, 3.1 mi. from C)

H) 30-02.86, 115-21.33' (road in from left, 2.3 mi. from B)

I) 30-03.86', 115-21.06' (Km. 103, 1.2 mi. from H)

Who is it who said, to paraphrase, "The most beautiful thing about a cactus is what you do with it after you cut it down."? I'd like to see some old growth cactus saved - even if for no reason.

Map changed and more waypoints and milages added (A-I).

While we did not find the El Camino Real waterhole of Santa Ursula, we did see a new area of Baja and eliminated areas where it could have been.

I am suspecting now, that by turning west at point C and driving to Arroyo La Burra, it may be the location... specially if that is the road Gulick traveled, as point 'I' is about 2 miles west of Arenoso, and Arroyo La Burra is about 6.9 road miles south of there. The highway is about the same place as the old main road here.

Just past point B is a ranch site and the road south turns left and climbs up a hill. There is no road fork to the southwest as indicated... perhaps the ranch was built on it?

Neal Johns, are you hearing me??? You can still beat me there!:cool::bounce::biggrin:
