I will be riding into a rarely visited NE portion of the Sierra San Francisco in early March-spending a little time at R. San Gregorio visiting
friends (2-3 nights) and then on to the base camp a few hours away for 3-5 days at an old ranch site. For someone new to the range, San Gregorio has
some of the finest rock art in my opinion (and SG 1 & 2 are my FAVORITES!!) in the entire range plus if you've never experienced the way it was in
early California, Rancho San Gregorio is the place to have a taste! The site of the basecamp, a few hours away from R. San Gregorio, is smack dab in
an area that receives very very few visitors AND has numerous petroglyph and pictograph sites few ever get to see.
Looking for 1 or 2 people. Tentative dates are abt the 5th-6th to the 14th-15th....nothing is set in stone as I am still in the formation stage. The
sierra's finest head guide is already onboard-I have traveled the range with him every year, sometimes twice-for over 15 years and this would be a
good trip for someone who doesn't want to rush every day from cave to cave but be able to relax in a completely remote mountain location with billion
dollar views and a sunset that is never the same. A good place for the writer or painter or photographer if you are so inclined....Plus not many folks
have seen these sites....
Life is short, do it while the body parts allow!!
My other 4WD is a Baja Mule!
La Mula Mil Survivor 2013-2014!
1000 miles by mule from the tip to Tecate!
What an amazing adventure! If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. I wish I could ride along with you. Can I have a rain check for about two years
from now?

Paulina-please do....start saving those pennies now because NONE of us are getting any younger!
These truly wild places in Baja California are like a time machine. You get the feeling that at some point, a guy in barely-a-loin cloth carrying an
atlatl is going to step out of the hidden shadows on the cliffs....or he just walked away from the manufacturing site you just climbed by on a morning
exploration!
Ya gotta love Baja.........
P.S. Don't worry Neal Johns, your secret is safe with me, you know, the one abt you and the loin cloth

oh man...I really want to do this trip with you but I will be busy smooching whales those dates...there are 6 of us who want to do a trip but a
shorter one say 4-5 nights.

Two years and two days ago that I wrote that reply to Teddi. Ironically I am going to a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss an adventure into this
area, with a different group of people however. I seem to hit that two year nail on the head. Weird how the baja universe works sometimes.

after years of yearning to do the mule trip into the canyon at Sierra de San Francisco, it appears we are hopefully going to do it around the end of
March...hey Pauline...maybe we can be in the canyon at the same time...it is bound to be a fantastic adventure and we are getting a small group of us
together from here...maybe Teddi will come?
