Dual sport southern CA and N Baja

[desertturtle 0]

I am new to the area and looking to do some dual sport riding ( KLR's) and exploring around southern CA and maybe north baja . I am pretty familiar with baja but never rode around southern CA . We are planning on leaving july 31 and return back to mission bay sunday aug. 2 . Is there any lodging up in the mountains south of hwy 10 and north of the border? Trying to stay out of the heat . I see lots of roads on google earth but that can be misleading . Any help or route suggestions would be very much appriciated . Also how is the road to Laguna hansen ? Have not riding around tecate for 6 years and have heard there are some fences and gates and being on Pigs we dont want to be boulder hopping .
