David,
you are correct. The picture is from the road to Rancho San Carlos. When I drove it, I had the feeling it was part of the ECR network. The large rocks
nicely stacked to both sides, not too wide - well built. I'm happy that you were able to confirm that.
January is not good for me, even I'm leaving for the area below the Tres Virgines this coming Saturday. Not taking my Adventurewagen but a lesser
minivan this time, and plan to continue further South to La Paz after that.
The screenshot is the Santa Martha road north of Rancho Rosarito, where I turned towards San Carlos.

Fernweh (and David K etc.)-------
Just to clear up my confused mind-----after doing some research, and consultation with other NOMADS, I am thinking that you couldn't possibly of
navigated with a 4-wheel drive the "coast" south of El Barril. I know you CAN go inland from El Barril in a SW direction, and then southeast across
Mesa El Alambrado and down La Fortuna Canyon to "Rancho" San Miguel, and on to Los Corrales on the coast (tho I never quite made it to Los Corrales).
South of Los Corrales directly along the coast is (I understand) impassable to 4-wheel drives because of headlands, mountains, cliffs, etc... Correct
me if I am wrong-----
I am really curious as to just where you DID go south of El Barril??? I know that you can come up north from Hyway 1 on the Santa Marta road to Santa
Marta, and beyond to the north, and then east to Ensenada La Trinidad on the coast. I have seen pictures of campers at Ensenada La Trinidad taken
from the sea, so it is doable. I don't know if you can actually drive east and reach the coast at Boca San Carlos (south of Ensenada La Trinidad) in
any 4-wheel drive tho-----apparently you have tried, but turned around at "Rancho" San Carlos when you ran out of time????
Any further illumination you could provide would be very helpful.

(by the way, El Barril is a very interesting and historic place despite what Ken Cooke's impressions were, both Rancho El Barril and the stone
buildings further SE a little way right on the coast------all very neat and connected with the Villavicencio family)

But Igor where are the fishing poles? Did you ever check out the posting on the Bonefish ?
Just where are you going?or are you already there?
Rob
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.
