Tutt in Anza Borrego
Guys, I thought you might appreciate a few pics of the Anza Borrego Desert. I took my Mom out for a one day adventure of off-roading in Ocotillo Wells within the Anza Borrego Desert State Park while I was down there for Christmas Break. I also spent some time with Old Savage as some may remember. Anyhow, my dear Mom really likes the desert, always has, and the climate agrees with her. She has always had a cactus garden and knows the latin name for all of them. Anyhow, it was a splendid day, and she enjoyed the trip.
I have to say, this area was far more scenic than I expected, and was very reminiscent of some of the more choice areas of Death Valley. I will have to go back and spend more time there some day myself!
I will share some other pics of where I went next, but here is Anza B.

Talon, its the Fish Creek-Sandstone Canyon Trail. The starting point is on Split Mountain Rd., 8 miles south of CA 78. GPS is N33.degrees02.38' W116 degrees 05.76'. I can't make a degree sign using these tools, so thats the best I can translate it. Hope that helps!
I ran into some people who had been to the Mud Caves, and they did sound really neat. Will try to go there next time.

Super pics Tutt! Love the desert myself as does my wife after taking her to Death Valley for our "honeymoon". May take a vacation myself soon, luckily enough I just settled with the buffalo owner's insurance company, (about 75 cents on the dollar of my full claim, but no lawyer fees involved). That place may be on the agenda, thanks.

Griff, your very welcome. It does seem like a neat area, particularly if you like off-roading. Ocotillo Wells is an OHV Park, and is crawling with quads and stuff. But the area I went to was pretty untraveled when I went. '71 Fan is right, probably its greatest attribute is it is one of the few places you can travel in the winter, and its very comfy. Anza-Borrego State Park IS very nice though. Plus you are close to Julian, a really nice tourist moutain town with the best apple pie around anywhere. And Cuyamaca State Park is close, and the Sunrise Hwy (one of my personal favorites from my motorcycle days). You could certainly do worse than A.B., and if you enjoyed D.V., I think you would like it! Certainly worth looking into!

Where are you, Tutt? You know much too much about my stomping grounds to be a casual tourist. I assume you have lived down here (or still do?). And don't forget to hit Major's in Pine Valley for a quick meal, or a burger in Boulevard.CowboyTutt wrote:Griff, your very welcome.

71Fan, I lived in North County San Diego from 95-03 or so. I used to motorcycle all over the place, and go shooting at some areas close to Warner Springs. After all the casinos were built in East County, and traffic increases where I lived, it seemed like a good time to get out. The casino's really spoiled the sport riding out there. A year or two after I left, they closed down the shooting locations too. We actually did it to ourselves as the shooters kept trashing the place with old tv's, paint cans, and thousands of shells and cases. They actually cleaned it up once, then we trashed it again. So, they closed it down.
Big Bore, I'm willing to bet you can't shoot or hunt within the State Park, but there might be some land outside of park boundries that allows shooting. Maybe.
Old Law Dog, yeah, ya got me dead to rights. Thats my Mom!
Nah, I just packed light for the trip, and left the cowboy duds at home.
I'll write up part deuce tonight.

Borrego Springs is one of my favorite ridding destinations. Wish I had know you were out that way it would have been a great reason to put more miles on my bike. When I was in Boy Scouts we used to go out there all the time. One time we did a 50mile hike out there along the Morman Battalion trail that was fun.

Jeremy, are you close to San Diego too? Honestly, I couldn't have spent any time on that trip as it was the one day I had to spend with Mom. Hey, she put up with me all these years, she deserved a day to herself.
Poogyr is a little north of me, and 71 Fan is around San Diego. Old Savage is is not too far away from SoCal, and Mike D. is also close to me in Hollister (although he may not be up to traveling).
Maybe we should arrange a day of shooting in SoCal somewhere? There is a range in Angeles that has a 600 yard target that I was supposed to go too while I was down there, but my friend was sick with a cold, and then it rained. Maybe we should all try to meet up there?

Tutt is correct. No firearms on state park land. A lot of the surrounding country is National Forest with spatterings of BLM, so pleanty of area to wander around.CowboyTutt wrote:Big Bore, I'm willing to bet you can't shoot or hunt within the State Park, but there might be some land outside of park boundries that allows shooting.

I am stationed and live at Camp Pendleton. I am glad you got some time to spend with your mom. I have a hard time getting time to go and visit my folks back in MO so I know how important it is to spend time with family.
95 is also down here in San Diego County. So the next time you are down we should plan ahead and try and get some trigger time together. I have never been to the Angels range but it would be fun to shoot my enfield @ 600 I havent done that in a good many years.

71 and friends, I could come down south for a weekend in Feb. or March (except the last week of the month which is Spring Break, and I already have plans). April would work too, but that might be calling it close for Jeremy.
What are your days and schedules like guys?
71, this is your baby, do you want to start another thread, and see if it can be made a sticky?

You have to go back in two weeks and see how beautiful it is after all the rains, and post new pics.
