Thanks David for the pictures. Brings back a lot of memories. Camped on the Beach between the town and the casa with my Baja Buddy's Pam and George
Kelley. Love that area. Thanks

Glad you guys are enjoying them...
For sure I hope to keep inspiring the reason most of us are here on Nomad, to learn more about Baja and to share what is special to us about Baja and
in doing so, helping others.
These photos were from two trips in 2017: January and June. They are in my trip reports #1 and #5 if you want to read more about where the photos were
taken:

Yes, always wanted to look around. I can remember when it was in operation as well as the check point where you turned to BOLA when coming from El
Arch, in the middle of no where! They had a little stacked rock wall and a wooden arm that they put out if I remember correctly?

Is it possible to make a loop from El Arco-Pta.San Francisquito to San Ignacio on something other than a mule?

The loop route involves the "No-wimps-trail" for motorcycles and also good 4x4s. That area (south of El Barril and north of Rancho Trinidad) has
recently been reported closed with locked gates that now block the land from the general public. A large power line is going in between Santa Rosalia
and near El Barril, where an undersea cable will bring power from the mainland to Baja California.

I was thinking a smaller loop. South of San Gertrudis, to El Gato area, or Santa Marta.

There is a trail but other than walking it or riding a mule/horse no. You can follow it on Google Earth. There is a site that has the ECR way points
that you can download from.
Here it is https://caminorealbaja.com/

That is what I was afraid of. I can see the washes and trails, but it did not look promising. Thanks, both of you.
