We did a quick overnight trip to Anza Borrego to check out some areas we haven't visited.
First one is a bit funny. How many of you have stopped to check out the Well of Eight Echoes?

There are a couple conflicting stories on the origin of the well; one is that the pipe is what's left of a fountain head from a failed cotton growing venture in the 1920's, while others claim it was an attempt at drilling for oil.

We camped in the area to the north of Blair Valley and found a survey marker from 1954

We also found this old makeshift kettle that looked pretty old. Both Mary and I commented that it was quite an ingenious idea.

There was also an interesting trail marked out with rocks that we couldn't quite figure out

The next day we hiked up Nolina Canyon near Pinyon Wash which was awesome. Had not been in that area before and will definetly go back to do some more exploring.
