I have heard there are exposed mammoth (mastodon?) footprints in the Font's Wash area. I've poked around a few times but haven't found them. Anyone familiar with this?
Thanks.

Florian,
I have and old map of ABDSP and shows " Dinosaur tracks" near the area you are describing. I went looking and never found anything. I sure others will chime in. I do have a relative who lives in Borrego Springs full time who is a member of the paleo / fossil hunting group. He said any significant finds are buried and hidden. Only to be un-earthed for the scientific community to view and study. Bummer, as I would just take only photos anyway.

Unfortunately due to the sensitivity of them and the carelessness of of some folks you probably (hopefully) won't find anyone posting directions publicly to them....

Paul Remeika through the Anza Borrego Foundation does geology tours every so often that will show you a number of fossil prints and sites in ABDSP including possibly the site you're looking for. I don't see he's got an upcoming trip listed on their website but ABF could probably tell you when the next one would be.
I believe my post may equal or surpass Daren's in terms of being completely unhelpful. 😕
