Leap Day Run - 2/29/20 - Palomar to Borrego Springs

Good stuff man! Great to see the parts of the run I forgot about!

There was a campsite in there somewhere I wanna hit up sometime but hopefully we'll be heading north soon.

 

Nice! How about those clouds over the weekend!?

 

Aliens.

 

@Silverlogic got it right!!!

 

Here are a couple more

 

And I think the Monk was my favorites

 

Yep, the view of the badlands from Font's Point is amazing! Definitely worth the quick drive if you're out there! I want to set up another trip just for AB to bomb around the washes, beginning at Font's Point and heading through 17 Palms, 5 Palms, Pumpkin Patch, down to Fish Creek to see the amazing canyons and geological features. Down towards Fish Creek there's plenty of off-shoots for people who want more technical trails, like Sandstone Canyon. If my truck wasn't my daily driver and I had a little lift I would try Sandstone but I don't think I could make it through the main rock fall without having to be winched over and that just kinda squees me out thinking about it lol

 

I was legit saying that all day. "Look at the size of that spaceship hiding in that cloud bank!"

 

My ass almost got stuck going through there, being the first one to break through the soft squishy bank on the other side. My right front tire was spinning and I almost slid into the truck on the left. Decided the fence in front of me was the lesser of two evils and floored it and made it through

 

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I need to get one of those

 

Im in...even if its hot out...

 

I would also be in

 

I've never been up that way, only to Fish Creek...Not sure exactly when it will start getting hot out there but it will start hitting 100 out there everyday soon. This may be a good run for later in the year like November.

With summer coming, I'm looking at the mountains whether it be Laguna or Palomar or even way up north like Angeles NF (haha to me that's way up north to me)..

 

Aww man now I sound like the lame one

 

The end of April/beginning of May is when it usually starts to reach high 80's, low 90's so I would want to do it by then. It would also be a trip I'd camp for, just to be able to spend more time out there. For summer I'd be looking at Big Bear, there's soooo much up there. Definitely something for everyone. I've never been up there either, so that would definitely be a camping trip as well.

 

AC bro!

 

Big Bear: Coxey Road from Lucerne into Fawnskin to start

 

I'm kinda nervous about Coxey Rd now that they opened it up to SxS's and buggys and pretty much everyone, without regulating speed. I'd be worried about coming around a corner and getting a SxS right in the grill because they're hauling ass like they do in Ocotillo. What do you think?
