Day Off

I’m headed off into our local mountains and down to the Anza-Borrego desert for a day of sightseeing with three good friends. If we have any luck at all, we’ll see some birds, some wildflowers, and some beautiful vistas. At worst case, we have an entire day together; I, for one, will cherish that. The rest is just a potential bonus…

We start with breakfast at the Descanso Junction restaurant, then up to Julian (via the Sunrise Highway), down to the desert (via Oriflamme Canyon jeep road), a walk in Smuggler’s Canyon, and possibly some other desert adventures. Then we’ll return by Rodriguez Canyon jeep road (if it’s passable), through Julian and south along the west face of Cuyamaca Mountain on Boulder Creek Road. A long day! Two of the friends I’m going with have never seen this area at all, so we’re motivated to give them the grand tour…

See you all tomorrow, hopefully with some pictures!
