Jeff 'bajacaliforian' future Mule Ride Route: Mulege -San Javier
If I can assist in providing route maps, please ask... Jeff asked if I could come up with some, so here is my forst attempt to show the auto roads and
El Camino Real mission trails (where they are different than auto roads).
Circled are the place names Jeff mentioned he would be going to
Map 1
Dashed lines on above map: The new auto road is the west fork from Las Chivas up and the Camino Real is the east fork via Guadajemi.
Close Up of Guadajemi Trail and bipass road:
Map 2
The dashed line is the Camino Real mission road where it is different than newer automobile roads.
Map 3
Maps 1,2,3 are from 2009 Baja California Almanac www.baja-almanac.com and Baja book dealers. Close up map from the out-of-print Baja Topo Atlas (1986 & 1991)
Best Luck to Jeff and company this Fall!

Many thanks David. Just a small band of riders heading for the San Javier festival December 2, by way of Mulege. Other riders leave from Loreto, or
the Pacific side.
My friend Cheri King, Mula on this board, is largely responsible for our success to date.

I would be happy to email you our trip log from our 3/2012 trip from San Isidro to Mulege if it is of help in your planning. It includes mileage and
gps points for that section. I suspect last fall's storms had a bad effect there. Spectacular country!

The rains messed up the switchback areas from La Purisima to Mulege and we were told in mid April they were cleaning it up. This from a rancher on
that route south of the switchbacks. Should be OK now.
