November 12-13, 2022 Nov. Anza Borrego Desert
The group included a total of 7 trucks. The weather was perfect, mid-70s during the day and 40s at night. Diablo Drop-Off was in much better condition compared to what we encountered during the pre-run, which was fortunate given the heavy rains leading up to the weeked. Surprisingly, it was not very crowded.
The group stopped for lunch outside the mud caves. We ventured into the super secret cave, but most opted out as it had partially collapsed. Chris was the only one “brave” enough to venture inside!
We arrived at the campsite ahead of schedule, allowing plenty of time for the group to set up camp and start relaxing early. Some went exploring while others chilled, had beverages, cooked, and hung out around the fire pit. It was another great evening off the grid!
The only hiccup we encountered was during the return trip. Peter blew two shocks and a spring popped off after hitting a small ditch. Being the MacGyver that he is, he quickly performed a trail repair and before too long we were rolling again.
Overall it was an excellent trip.
