Mud & Snow Run: Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

[BorregoWrangler]

Had a really fun day of wheeling over the weekend. We all met at Dudley's at 7AM and gassed up in Santa Ysabel. There was a lot of snow and it was around 30 degrees as we went thru Julian and down banner grade. We headed down the Great Southern Overland Stage Rd and over to Arroyo Tapiado to the Mud caves where we explored one of the caves. From there we back-tracked to Arroyo Seco del Diablo to Diablo Dropoff to Fisk Creek Wash to Sandstone Canyon, where we stopped to have lunch. After lunch we continued up fish creek past split rock and found some more snow. We turned around at a point that would make it pretty hairy to get back thru and headed back to Fish Creek and out thru Split Mtn. I had to hightail it back home but the rest of the group headed on over to Fonts Point. All in all, another great day of wheeling and company.

Here's ta video I put together.

Oh, he just likes driving the trails backwards!:hehe:

Actually, that's where we had to turn around. I didn't want to take the stock FJ's in the group down an obstacle that would of held us up the rest of the day.
