Anyone up for a quick run down the peninsula to see the Finding Petroglyphs before they're gone? Easy weekend ride, camp or hotel. Here's an interesting article describing it: http://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/petroglyph_park.php The Magic Peninsula of Baja California never ceases to amaze with the fun and interesting sites to be seen and experienced. Using the Baja Cactus Motel in El Rosario as a base, we made a loop trip in the country to the northeast. It had been something I wanted to do ever since I learned about a road in 1973 that wasnt on any of my maps. The road was used for the 1973 Baja 500 in order to avoid the new highway construction around El Rosario. It has since been used a few times by SCORE for Baja races. I opted to run the 105 mile loop counter-clockwise, and it was a perfect way to go. In recent years of wet weather, the El Socorro side of the road is used more by motorcycles than 4 wheel drives. A high ground clearance 4WD with locking differential or traction control is recommended for travel beyond Mile 26 and especially beyond Petroglyph Park.
