Once you get by the bottomless dust pits on the road following the train tracks (you have to carry some speed through the deep silt) the route is fine. Cross under the trestle and follow the wash to the no entry signs and you'll be in the bombing area. |

Login Username Issue

When I tried to login it would not take my username with the proper caps... DesertWRX. When I type it in properly it uses the name that shows in the blue box below, which is Desertwrx, and it tells me I have an incorrect username. It is doing this on both my pc's. On my wife's Mac it keeps the correct caps and allows me to sign in. Help! |

I just tried that and went from 305m to 300k and still can't get my username correct. Any ideas how to make it not case sensitive? |

Baja Bug for Sale

That looks like a very well built Baja. The front beam is pretty nice, roll cage, IRS w/boxed arms, large Weber carb'd engine, one piece front body. Great wheels but the rear tires are low on tread and it's close to not street legal without wipers, signals, brake lights, and parking lights. Maybe I just can't see the lights front and rear. You're going to need wipers for the puddles and... rain |

Sheep & Lower Coyote Canyon Trip

Great pictures! My wife and I have Coyote Canyon and Sheep Canyon for the ABDSP Adopt a Trail/Wash program. Always removing ground fire rings and picking up trash (and mylar balloons!)! Keeping that part of the park clean is a reward in itself, but the views really make it worth it. Going up one more time before the road is closed for the season. |

That's a large area to cover in only a few days!
We have a few offroad vehicles and we live in the Borrego area.
I see you have covered the Long Beach D1 event. I was a flagger at Turn 9 this year! And no, I'm the other Bill, not The Bearded Man of Drifting. People do come up to me and mistake me for TBMoD and I just go along with them!

I'm no controlled burn expert, but there was a wind warning on my phone at 5 am for this area. |

Borrego has a new newspaper called The Borregan, run by the former editor of The Sun. The original paper, The Sun, now is run by the Owner/Publisher/Editor and kinda looks at the area though rose colored glasses some say. The Chamber of Commerce probably likes this! Here is the first issue, which came out today... http://www.sea2mountainmedia.com/The_Borregan.html
Go to page 16 for a very interesting story. Have any of you hikers seen this? |

The Bypass Road use to be the toughest road in Anza-Borrego. Lots of boulder climbing and you needed a spotter. Now days it is a steep bumpy road. But, people who could not see the beauty of our park up there have a chance now. |

Bill, do you have any old photos you can share of what the road used to look like?[/quote wrote:
I'll have to search for those. I also took a video several years back from inside a Hummer but that stayed with the owner of the camera! A ranger started adding rocks to the road several years ago but the real change was 2 years ago when the road was "improved" for fire fighting vehicles during the big fires origination out of the reservation in Warner Springs. I'll check with a ranger to see how all those round rocks were brought and added to the Bypass Road.
