Topic: Saturday 20 Nov 2010 - 5th Annual Fish Creek & (What's Left Of) Sandstone Canyon

Anybody want to caravan out from San Diego?  I generally leave from the area of Scripps Poway Parkway near Pomerado Road around 0800.

Let me know if you want to meet up, and we can set a specific time and spot.

Alternate caravan meet spot would be the Julian Pie Company main bakery in Santa Ysabel (not in the town of Julian) at 0900.

Any day use passes needed? Or any other type of permits?

... and people can fight over who gets to take the leftovers...

Wooohooo! I love to watch fights! Now I see why there should't be too many pies: too much leftovers, not enough fighting ()

To those riding alone on Saturday: don't be sad, maybe it could get arranged to carpool with other lonely drivers.  Then, there could be fights over who is driving! hee hee

I'll be there with stickers.

Any day use passes needed? Or any other type of permits?

No permits or day use passes needed for Anza Borrego Desert State Park.  There are, I believe, a couple of fee spots, but those are the improved campgrounds.

. . . .  maybe it could get arranged to carpool . . . .

If everyone who said they are going shows up this will be a pretty big group.  We may wind up having to find a larger lunch spot in Fish Creek and then go up Sandstone Canyon in smaller groups.  That turn-around spot at the rock fall is not all that big, and significantly smaller than the spot we used to end and turn at.  If prior years are any indication, we won't be the only ones out there either. This is generally a busy weekend in Anza Borrego. 

Should be fun.  Weather is looking to be really mild.  For the campers, I think there is going to be lot of moonlight.

Hopefully the rain will keep other people away

Mitch, if you could save a sticker for me, that would be great. Thanks.

[Soylent Yellow]

I have 5 or 6 left and I will bring then.   I am working on getting more made.

[FrankB]

For anyone coming from the Riverside, Los Angeles or Orange County areas, I can lead a caravan from Temecula to Visitor Center via the 79. Meet in front of the Chase Bank in the Temecula Town Center, west of the Interstate 15/Rancho California intersection:

29640 Rancho California Road
Temecula, CA 92591
Meet at 8:00 AM; leave at 8:15 AM



Feel free to call if you need directions: 951-522-5366

Alex, isn't that on the east side of I-15?  Also, just a suggestion, you might want to meet on Hwy 79 so that people don't have to get off and back on the freeway. There are lots of places on the righthand side of Hwy 79 once you get off I-15.  Just a thought - Might be a lot easier.

I'm in too. hmm did someone say stickers?

[Soylent Yellow]

Frank, I might be in for a day on this run and quite possibly for a 2 day. I also have a 20lb keg of gunpowder (Shotgun reloading powder) and some 20' wicks so we might be able to blast our way out  . It has been a couple years since I have been able to join you all and would like to try and make at least one of these trips again.

David, if you make it, can you bring the cross bars?  If you still have them.
