[Scenic WonderRunner]

Had a wonderful day this past Sat. in Anza Borrego!

We did.....

Chariot Canyon....Oriflamme......and up to but not through, the Squeeze!

We even made it up to the PCT.....Sweet!


Click for Pics............... Enjoy!

H2 testing the Squeeze! (i'm playing with the lighting here, still testing my camera)

Only one way to get her through!

Funny photo, Mark. :clapsmile

Did the Hummer levitate through or what?

'Nuther question.... what is Anza Borrego and what is significant about it? I'm curious.

I've driven by AB Park so many times. I've always wanted to explore there. I'll check it out one of these days.

Great pics! That is definitely a cool park! Here's a photo of the allpro '05 going through the same squeeze:

Came out with some minor door carnage.

It is a fun obstacle to traverse though:wings: I need to go back soon. I'm surprised the H3 didn't make it through either?

The H2 wanted to make it through, but he stopped there. It was late in the day and time to head up to Julian for Pie N Ice Cream! The H2 thinks he see's a line he can make. They are talking about going back this fall and try again during a group trip. Talk of getting a spare junk set of wheels and tires for the attempt.

The H3 could have made it. New driver.....new H3.....not crazy enough.

I wouldn't even think of it with my 4Runner.....although it would fit easy! I'm not crazy!

Getting Serious!

Har! I took my Envoy up close (though not as close as you) to let her smell the Squeeze a couple of years ago. Soon as I get a custom bumper and a lot more underarmor, she'll make it.

Looks like fun man, like i said over on Panamint Charlie.. i've been through the squeeze before... and he needs to add about 6" to his total width. You have to take into consideration the off camber portions.

Glad you didn't run into flash floods out there.

Also, remember Heart Attack hill is after the squeeze and there will be no way to turn around (one way trail), so your commited once through :wings:

Mark,
The full Name is Anza Borrego Desert State Park, I'm told it is the largest State Park in the lower 48. Something in the neighborhood of 1000 square miles. Goes from a couple of miles north of the Mexican border up into Riverside County, with elevation changes from below sealevel to 5000 plus feet. One of my favorite areas & very diverse.

Yep, awesome place! I try to get there every year, even though it is quite a drive for me.
