GPS DIRECTIONS TO YUBAY (WGS 84)
JCN. hwy.1 & L.A. Bay hwy. N29°02.76' W114°09.17' 0.0 mi.
TURN NORTH onto dirt road N29°04.31' W114°02.41' 7.0 mi.
FORK right (left is Desengaņo, 0.3 mi.) N29°06.84' W114°01.65' 10.0 mi.
JCN. go right (ahead to rock palm hill, 4.2 mi.) N29°09.17' W114°01.40' 12.8 mi.
RIDGE TOP, 4WD only beyond N29°10.19' W113°59.77' 14.8 mi.
END OF ROAD in arroyo/TRAIL is straight across N29°10.29' W113°59.65' 14.9 mi.
TINAJA DE YUBAY N29°10.69' W113°59.26' 15.5 mi.
note: milages are direct, not road miles.
========================================================
Note that the map datum is at WGS84... so enter it at that setting... Since then, I always use NAD27 to match with the Baja Almanac, etc... Plus Neal
Johns told me to do it that way!
I used the GPS to give the straight line distances between each point... From the road end in the arroyo to Tinaja de Yubay it was 0.6 mi. (1 km.)...
So the actual walking distance would be a bit more, but under a mile.

Okay, one of the newest additions is the mine west of Puertecitos at the end of the long road from Mex. 1... that we hope might be a shortcut across
Baja, using Arroyo el Canelo off Matomi.

A toda madre David! How about San roque?? I think this should be a separate lpermanent page on Baja Nomad site so we can always refer to it without
looking for this link in the Forum. Way cool and it has helped our visitors find our remote place. Buen trabajo! Te felicito

Yep, lencho, the world is converting to ITRF92. The good news is (from Dr. Will Featherstone):
"The ITRF92 is a more recent datum than the WGS84 datum and is considered to be an improvement upon WGS84. Also, the ITRF92 is internationally
recognized and endorsed through the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). In fact, the WGS84 datum was modified in early 1994 and is now
coincident with the ITRF92 at the 10cm level (Malays and Slater, 1994). Therefore, for all practical purposes, (WGS84) is fully compatible with
(ITRF92) in terms of spheroid and datum."
For those metrically challenged, 10cm is about 4 inches.
You also see an occasional reference to WGS83. This is WGS84 referenced so that is not affected by long term position shifts in tectonic plates.
Therefore in your lifetime (unless you live in California   ) it is the same as WGS84.
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

Literature Forum... http://forums.bajanomad.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=24
El Camino Real, near Gonzaga Bay: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=22982
El Camino Real, near San Borja: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=23117
El Camino Real, north of Santa Gertrudis: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=23118
El Camino real, Santa Gertrudis to San Ignacio (east route): http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=23433
El Camino Real, San Ignacio to Santa Gertrudis (west route): http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=23468
Not finished with the route going north from San Ignacio... got as far as San Francisco de la Sierra!

Thank you, David K! What a labor of love... Or is that your Baja Fever that's making you do that? You must be a Virgo or have a lot of Virgo in your
astrological chart...

I understand the convenience of having it near the top of the board... However, if it isn't you can either scroll down the General Baja forum or use
Nomad search... 'Baja Locations From Space' by David K

Nice work David..... "Google Earth" is great for mapping out our favorite portions of Baja. I actually downloaded Robby Gordon's pre-running course
for the 2006 Baja 1000 and followed it down just after the race. Of course, I was just a bit off his and Andy McMillan's pace. Download Google Earth
for free from Google's site, its so much fun.
And no, the federal government will not allow Google to update their sat images too often for "reasons of national security".

I am anxiously awaiting them to get high resolution in the area between Cataviņa and Gonzaga Bay... Mision Santa Maria area, to see the road, El
Camino Real, mission, etc! This is really great country... I am looking forward to next weekend, going there for my third time and Baja Angel's first
time!
