Anza Borrego Desert is a big place.
Do you know what area or runs they are thinking about?

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Sat Mar 22, 2008 11:12 pm

We'll be driving through interrior of the Anza Borrego State park as well as the Occotillo Off Highway Vehicle park, cutting across some of the most interesting desert around.

The date for the event will be May 3rd

A few sites are.
17 Palm oasis.
Pumpkin patch.
Occotillo OHV.
Fish Creek wash.
Sandstone Cyn.
The Slot.
Diablo drop off.
The cut across trail in the Occotillo OHV area.
Shell reef. (fossilized sea shell beds)
Blooming desert flowers.
Sand dunes.
Just to name a few!

Most all of the trip is moderate rated for difficulty suited for most stock 4x4 SUV's. I have added about 3 or 4 difficult rated optional side routes just to keep everyone happy who brings their modified riggs or just enjoys a challenge. This makes for a great family orientated outing. Quinn will be co-ordinating camping if anyone would like to camp there for the weekend. The run will be held on Saturday. If you want to attend just for the day we'll be meeting at the Arco Station mentioned below.

Drive time from Lake Arrowhead is about 2+ hours, from Big Bear it's a little longer.

The meeting place for the Saturday day run will be at the Arco station on the corner of Hwy. 86S and Hwy. 111 near Mecca on the north end of the Salton Sea. It is a must to fill up your vehicle here for the run. There is also a Del Taco and sandwich shop along with the AM PM market. Because of the amount of territory we're going to cover we need to be leaving the station by 7:45 Am. We'll be meeting up with the camping group at the Occotillo OHV area on Hwy 22 to Borrego Springs.

We'll be running Channel 25 on the CB

Being an all day event in the desert be sure to bring plenty of water and food for the day.

Considering the long haul to get there and the early start, I am considering camping as of now. I will know for sure as we get closer.
(if I can go at all......found out there is a conflicting item on my calander that I'm trying to get out of)

sandiegodave · **Posted:** Sun Mar 23, 2008 12:15 am

Sounds like a great trip.
I love Anza and would probably make it a week end.
I'll talk to you about it in Moab.

Should be a good time, thats about when the wildflowers bloom.

I wasn't able to make Moab but this and camping is a possibility for me. Let us know how the conflict pans out.

JJsTJ · **Posted:** Sat Apr 12, 2008 9:38 pm

I am planning on going. Waiting for camping info so I can make plans for that.

Anyone else up for it? Great time of year to visit this area.

Waiting for an update from Quinn on the camping. I'll shoot him a message and find out whats up.

In Moab Quinn asked me to e-mail him about camping options in Anza Borrego. Then an email from Justin stated they would like to camp in the Occotillo OHV area off Hwy 22. I have never camped in that area. I have camped in the Occotillo OHV area off Hwy 78. Sorry I can't help with the camping details that far north.
Keep me informed I'm planning on taking my RV and towing my Jeep for the weekend.

Well my email was basically just a paraphrase of JJ's post above. I sent JJ a PM and hope to get more information about camping and the Arco gas station out to you all.

Can an RV get into the camping area and what time will people be getting to the campgrounds?

Does this map help?
