    Friendly small open invite for this Sunday (March 12th)..

    I'll be going out to Anza again this weekend (3rd week in a row) to do a family trip of things that I've done several times but my parents and brother have never seen. As in, I'll be bringing my parents, one of my brothers, girlfriend, and two dogs with me in my Tundra. The plan is to start really early (get to the desert by 7a) and do a little bit of everything..
    - A few short hikes (nothing longer than a mile round-trip) to enjoy the "superbloom" and find some waterfalls.
    - A few easy to moderate trails (Lower Coyote Canyon, maybe Calcite Mine, a bunch of Ocotillo Wells washes, Fish Creek, Diablo drop-off, Canyon Sin Nombre)
    - See the several tourist spots (Borrego Springs metal sculptures, Font's point, Pumpkin Patch, Truckhaven 4x4 park, Arroyo Tapiado mud caves, wind caves)

    That being said, I'm willing to take 2-3 rigs max with me (must have VHF/UHF radio) if they want to bring family along also to enjoy a wide range of Anza's offerings. I've cross-posted this invite on TacomaWorld.com, Tundras.com, and Toyota-4Runner.org so the spots may fill up quick but please only get to me if you're 100% in with your family.

    I led a small group this past weekend to some of the above and it was a fun day. The flowers of Anza are starting to bloom and it's supposed to be the best season with all the rains the desert got these past few weeks. Here's a pic of this recent Saturday run's lineup..

    Having a radio just makes it so much easier to move the day along faster.

    Dogs are not allowed on any hiking trails, not allowed cross country hiking. It is especially important to keep dogs away from wildlife water sources.

    They are allowed in all campgrounds, on all dirt roads, and primitive camping along the dirt roads but no further. See the state park website.

    Be careful of cacti, Coyotes and rattlers.
