Hey guys first time posting. I know I'm a little late but Ive been searching for a gpx file that would take us from tecate or la rumerosa through the pine forest and down to ojos or valle de t. We leave Friday morning and Our final destination is actually San Felipe. So any recommendations are appreciated. There are about 6 of us on dual sport bikes with around 3 gallons of fuel. Most of us have been to Baja many times and are somewhat familiar with the landmarks we just haven't been in a while and would prefer to not go in blind since we will be on a bit of a time crunch and are unsure of current conditions after the recent weather. Thanks!

Thursday the 12th, crossed the border to meet up with other riders. Stayed the night in Puerto Nuevo at a friends house. Friday, The other riders and I did not hook up so off I went. I thought they may be heading to Coyote Cal's along the coast south of me, so I rode some street and farm roads along the coast to get there. I guess 1pm was too early for the other riders, so went to the best lunch I have ever had at Rosa's, 1 mile south of Coyote Cal's. Also got some gas from the auto repair shop (sold in gallon jugs). Off I went; heading south along the coastal farm and surfer/fishing village roads. Starting to get dark, so popped back on the highway for 40 minutes to San Quintin. Nice little motel, wifi, coffee for the morning and a good nights rest. Saturday decided to see what the mountains looked like going over mostly dirt roads to San Felipe. I could see some red rocks in the distance, decided to xcountry to it for lunch. After that back to the coast headed north for some of the roads I missed on Friday. Once on the dirt road heading over the mountains, it was kind of lonely...only one other vehicle in 3 hours of dirt roads, but it was beautiful. After crossing the mountains, headed south to San Felipe on mostly dirt with a large dry lake bed crossing. Made it to San Felipe a few minutes before dark, in time for a great dinner, cold beer and some needed rest. Sunday I thought I would go see Mike's Sky Ranch, I had never been there. The ride there was decent except I should have not beat myself up over miles of huge sandy race track whoops. Got to Mike's Sky ranch at 1pm, it was a ghost town. Decided there was plenty of riding left in the day so headed North on the dirt roads. It was getting late when I came to the main intersection between Mikes and Laguna Hansen. so I decided to go up the paved road to Ojo's Negros and get a motel. Sleepy little town, but a great motel, great food and fuel not far away. Monday I thought I should check out Laguna Hansen, but found a dirt road turning north before I got back to the intersection. Had a most excellent lunch at Kutap Kutaey, and enjoyed the ride through the pine trees. Coming out on the Highway, I decided to head towards Mexicali and see what I could find. My best find was the dry lake bed of Laguna Salada (also part of a race course). I rode out about 25 miles, then turned back as it was getting late. I got into Mexicali about dark, found a $15.00 motel that I could put my motorcycle inside the room. Had a great dinner, cold beer, and went to sleep early. Tuesday morning heading home; crossed the border early, and found some really nice BLM Marked Trails across the desert heading to the town of Ocotillo. Had a nice lunch in the desert, and rode some more trails to gas at Ocotillo. Starting to feel tired, I jumped on the I-8 and went home. Round trip 915 miles on my 2014 KTM 500. No issues at all, just a great trip.
