Just an update - I started for Animas Bay and went about 7 miles past Campo Gecko. The road out of town and beyond are all rocky, loose rocks, and I
was doing about 12 mph. Hmmm - 21 miles of this? About then, a Baja 1000 race vehicle came screaming past me at 60 mph, with rocks flying. Guess
that's how the road got so many loose rocks. The days were short, it was windy - I figured another trip in optimum conditions would be a wiser
choice. And I wouldn't become an accidental Baja 1000 participant!! I'll bring the kayak then too.
I really appreciate the advice and geography photos - I've printed them out for future reference.

It can be pretty scary when you are tooling along on a Baja dirt road, then without warning you get passed by a racing buggy or truck doing 100 mph!
Happened to us many years ago south of San Felipe.
Have a fun time when you try again Cindi, and you will enjoy the lost mission mystery walls, if you hike up the mesa and the surrounding area!

Drove down to Playa San Rafael a few days after the Baja 1000....worst I have ever seen the road. Not sure about the road out to Animas, though.
