DK the cable may have just been a temporary thing either to keep racers and/or chaser out or maybe they were doing some work and did not want anyone
messing with it.
I've been as far as the rocks.
Looking at Google Earth it shows a road going further west from above Choyall and coming out to hwy 3 about half way between Mike's Sky Rancho turn
off and Trinidad.

I did the route on October 11th. Also have a picture of the first gate with my truck on the inside. Not sure how to post a 2 MB picture.

Use photobucket.com and use upload options and select 800 pixels for a reduced size but maximum Nomad size.

When you put your curser over the pix there will be a list of items pop open, move your curser to the bottom one and left click on it. When you do it
should say copied. Then go to the Nomad page you are repling on and paste it in the reply box.

If you don't get the list of option after putting your curser on the pix then double click on the pix and it will open in a larger frame. To the right
will be the list of options put your curser over the bottom one and left click. This is for the old Photobucket I have not used the newer version yet.

Here's the swamp just before Arroyo Grande:
Rancho Arroyo Grande:
Up on the plain above Arroyo Grande:
Cerro La Noche looking northwest:
Road winding down to Canada Taraiso:
Locked in a few miles up from Choyall:
This is the beefiest ranch gate and fence I have seen in Baja.

No. The fence stretches completely across the wash from cliff to cliff.

I wonder if there are any locked gates further west toward Trinidad or if the road is passable.

The designer probably failed trigonometry in which case they should have used bigger tires.

I thought the pole Line Road went to La Ventana not toward Borrego.

Nope, the telephone line poles went to San Felipe (for the radar station).. the modern access road to the well and Arroyo Grande comes from La
Ventana...
