Can a pair of 4x4 Jeeps make it thru Matomí??
I'm thinking of setting up another run in the not too distant future.. With the right equipment, would it be feasible for a small group to conquer
Matomí??

Get out of your jeep and hike. There are a couple places near Matomi that far exceed anything you will ever see thru your windshield in baja.

A 5-year-old can come up with better insults and word plays than that!
I think English is you first language, but you write at a second grade level, what's with that?

Ken,
Any 4x4 can drive thru Matomi with no issues. Pick your line
Read my other post where we just took our club thru. The only problem was the impatient VW guy that took a difficult line and got hung up and I had
to pull him back to allow a better line.
The newbies all used a spotter. The rest of us that had done it more than once just drove thru with no issues. For me I go slow and carefully because
I do not like scratches on the body.
And yes the SCORE race went thru Matomi and many had issues and there were two guys with winches to unstuck the hapless. Big tires are good. Small
tires require care.

Goat---------can you be more specific? What "places near Matomi" are you referring too, and can you give directions to find?

OK, well I guess I should go ahead and post the Matomí road block photos here, ahead of my trip report (which I was going to begin to type right
now).
Here is my GPS track map of the area. The red lines connect 10-minute location transmit points, and not always over the actual road:
You see that I first went to the ranch house and waterfall, then wanted to drive down the arroyo (as I had done many times in the past between
1978-2006). I also wanted to go to the natural arch of Arroyo Las Blancas.
These were taken Saturday (6 days ago)...
Here is the first narrow gap, no problem... but note, only motorcycle tracks:
Still no biggie, but only motorcycle tracks since the last flash flood:
Oh bummer:
I walk down to the squeeze to see if it gets better, as I seriously do not want to go back!
It just gets worse:
The squeeze even looks much narrower, as the sand level is lower (and that exposed the boulders that block me).
Looking eastbound.
Looking westbound from the east side. Again, only m/c tracks in the sand.
With the DeLorme inReach Explorer GPS device, which creates a track map and updates my position every 10 minutes, I can (via satellite) text message
or email anyone. It pairs via Bluetooth with my cell phone.
I am texting with StuckSucks that day about what I see. TW, BajaNomad (Doug), 4x4abc, and a couple others are watching my location progress map, as
well as chatting with me while I am on these solo expeditions in remote areas. Nice that I can text with my wife, too!

Here's looking at the squeeze (westbound) in June 2006, and driving on to the waterfall was no problem:
The sand level looks to me to be about 4 feet lower now vs. 2006 if you see the boulders on the sides.
