This photo taken from the foot trail up to Rancho San Gregorio, looking NW towards San Borja. The 'Desert Command Unit' is seen in the forground. A lava tower is in the background. A cross was placed on the top. The road from San Borja added many 'Baja pin stripes' to Mike's new truck!
The old abandond rancho is reached by a 0.4 mile foot trail up a ravine. N 28°39.824' W113°39.930' elev.2,417' Compare this to a 50 year old photo in the Lower California Guidebook (pg.127) when the ranch was operating.
From the Lower California Guidebook, Rancho San Gregorio, 50 years ago.
This would make a great vacation home, no? Notice the adobe walls built on a cut stone base. This was the same technique used by the missionaries. We are informed San Gregorio dates back to mission times.
