Yes, in the cactus... that was in 2001. I can't recall if it was along the road or the foot trail just beyond the parking area at the end of the road
in 2001.

Which area?
I did go to the railroad line and terminal again in 2017. See Trip #1 report.
The San Gregorio area has an eco resort but not much talk about it for a few years.

ECO resort? When I was up the Rafael said they did rehab for alcohol and drug problem people. That would be one rough eco resort. I really like what
he did with new ranch house. I haven't been back up there for 7 or 8 years. Thanks Tio for bringing this old thread back I had completely forgotten
about it.

The Eco Resort is called 'El Canto de la Tierra' and while their website is offline, there are fresh posts on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elcantodelatierra/
More From the Internet:
Rancho San Gregorio is a picturesque and historic ranch located in a canyon on the western slope of the Peninsular Ranges on the Baja
California peninsula, approximately eight miles southeast of the Mission San Borja de Adac.
ALSO:
https://vermilionseainstitute.org/rancho-san-gregorio/
The “Vaquero” Experience (available February & March):
Every February and March, members of the Villavicencio family arrive at Rancho San Gregorio to drive the cattle, by horseback, up the mountains into
the desert mesas. An “all hands on deck” effort, participants in this heritage practice help the family to brand the cattle, milk and make cheese,
and camp alongside fellow vaqueros under the stars while listening to the old family stories. Visitors from all walks of life are welcome to join this
meaningful experience.
Costs: $30 pp/per night and includes food. Travel is on your own or carpooling may be available. Email Meghann McDonald at meg@vsfs.org for more
details. Please include desired travel dates and number of participants.
For more information about visiting Rancho San Gregorio or about bringing a group of your own, email us at info@vsi.deepdivedylan.io and visit our
Start Your Own Field Course page.

I guess the term "resort" can mean anything you want it to.

That is why I added the qualifier "Eco" to it, lol! That makes ex-hippies and Millenials both happy!

I "resort" to sleeping in my car quite often!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I believe at some point there were supposed to be horse or donkey assisted camping trips up into the mountain from there. Been interested in doing
that there for years. Anybody have any experience with that?

Every year we do at least two, or three trips monitoring bighorn sheep in that area. We have professional guides and permits for bura deer and
california quail hunting in ejido and private lands.
It's a very demanding experience, since there are no roads, water and shade, but you get to see the real baja, and share time with real vaqueros.
If interested, U2U me.
