He did mention wheeling in the desert...and we all know the only TRUE desert is east of San Diego.
Welcome to the group (from San Diego)...sounds like you have a pretty good X background.
Like Toro said...check the Xcursions thread for upcoming stuff...I think there's a run planned for tomorrow...Rattlesnake Canyon, which is a great intro to the local deserts/mountains.
