Meeting Time: 8:30 AM, Saturday, March 14, 2020
Meeting Location: Salton City Travel Plaza, 2084 S. Marina Drive, Thermal, CA
Weather Forecast: Current long-range forecast shows low to mid 70’s during the day, and mid to high 40’s at night, with a very low (10-20%) chance of showers. It should be a perfect time to hit Anza Borrego!
Trail Ratings: There are many trails to choose from in this area. My plan is to stick to Easy to Moderate trails. Some trails may have steep climbs and/or tight turns, but all should be suitable for high clearance stock vehicles. That said, if some want to branch off to more difficult bypasses for a more challenging time, that should be possible.
We’ll start off east of Anza Borrego State Park, and head towards AB via the Cross Over Trail, and maybe hit Pumpkin Patch, and then some of the trails around Borrego City. For those who want to make this a day trip, this should be a logical stopping point to get you home by late afternoon, or early evening.
For those who will be camping Saturday night, we’ll head over to Blair Valley for primitive camping (no available water or other supplies, so bring all you’ll need!). I've never camped there, but I've heard that it's absolutely beautiful! The following day, after breaking camp, we can do a few more trails in the area. If we have time, one of my favorites on the way out towards Julian is Oriflamme Canyon.
PLEASE RSVP TO ME SO I KNOW HOW MANY TO EXPECT.
You can reach me at: (949) 769-1744, either talk or text; or via email at:josephroy@cox.net Look forward to seeing you there!
