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

| Post subject: | More info |
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. |

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. Dave |

Keep me informed I'm planning on taking my RV and towing my Jeep for the weekend. Dave 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. |
