This is an area northwest of Ocotillo, Ca. that I rode to last weekend. Liverchip is familiar with Ocotillo, but this is about 25 miles out of the town on a road named S2. Being on a streetbike, I didn't want to try it, but it does state that vehicles have to be street-registered to be on it, and 4 x 4 recommended--probably a good ride for a Chinese enduro; Liverchip--your street-registered bike is a good guinea pig for this!

The significance of this area is that this the overland route for stagecoaches from the wild west going to and from San Diego, CA through the desert. Not sure if the coaches continued my way to Yuma, but I wouldn't be surprised (I live about 100 miles east of here, so could only imagine the horror of trying to get here in the middle of summer!!)
