3/10/2024 Topic: My Retriement dsefcik Administrator	Would be lieing if I said I didn't miss the desert and all of you...😢 Hopefully I will make some trips back out there as life here begins to settle down 👍

I would say it's one of the best backpacking items I own. 6oz. Looked them up, looks like nice gear, have never heard of that company before. The color Valo looks pretty cool also.
3/10/2024 Topic: Knee replacement dsefcik Administrator	I remember you having some knee issues awhile back, doesn't seem that long ago but I am going on almost 3 years leaving SD. Glad you are able to get back out..👍

Finally starting to get out and explore more. There are some really pretty areas here but the mosquitoes and humidity can be tough.

The BARC has known documented sites in the park but I personally have found several sites not documented so there are definitely more undocumented sites waiting to be found.
3/15/2024 Topic: upcoming? Rosa (looking for advice) dsefcik Administrator	At least you gave it a go and spent the day out in the desert....now you have an excuse to go again..!
3/16/2024 Topic: upcoming? Rosa (looking for advice) dsefcik Administrator	You coulda taken that ridgeline, there is even a trail on it...🙂
7/16/2024 Topic: Panamint City dsefcik Administrator	Nice trip! I always wanted to go visit but never got to it. I did do some hikes up to Telescope Peak and along the ridge lines looking down to Panamint. That would be a good backpack trip with two cars.
7/18/2024 Topic: 2025 Photo Contest dsefcik Administrator	Just FYI for those of you camera desert people. https://theabf.org/2025photocontest/
7/18/2024 Topic: Solstice Cave dsefcik Administrator	Winter solstice site? No Summer Solstice site? Yeah, it could be back before all the of the smog and dust from the valley. Light rays passage across the pictos is about 12 minutes long if the morning smog and dust doesn't obscure the sun's rays. You don't have to be there exactly on the 21'st to see things. Good luck and please respect this very special place.
7/22/2024 Topic: Solstice Cave dsefcik Administrator	@dtoujours: Yes, I have been there and yes, it happens fast and depending on the exact date light will pass over different pictos. This has all been detailed in archeo docs. All it takes is a slight layer of smog or dust at sunrise and you will not see anything, you have a 50/50 chance from my experience. Winter solstice, no, the sun is too far south and doesn't even hit the cave in the AM, just hits the draw outside. --
8/16/2024 Topic: Borrego Springs under fire again - Regional Decarb dsefcik Administrator	So do SD citizens actually have a chance in this or is it a done deal and just hopeful theater?
8/19/2024 Topic: Golf Courses and Bighorn Sheep dsefcik Administrator	Oleander poisoning is 2% of the known causes of death, automobile collisions being the highest at 39%. Great info on BHS here: https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=192914&inline Janene Colby, one of the authors was an incredible resource and advocate for the BHS.
8/25/2024 Topic: The Santa Rosas Sawmill Trail (Sort Of) dsefcik Administrator	There is an old helicopter crash site up at the top also. Near Alta Seca if I remember correctly.

Not sure if it's accessible before the locked gate with signage, though. Can't say I recollect seeing any fences or signs when we looked for it. IIRC it was just off the road at some point. On a side note, for any HAM's, I was able to do a check in from Toro peak to the repeater in Otay with 5w and full quieting on a handi talkie. -- edited by dsefcik on 8/25/2024

Brian and I went up there a few years ago and saw cairns leading down to Cottonwoods. Hope to plan a trip from RHC up to Alta Seca some day. That is a good trip, base camp at the cottonwoods and day hike up to the peak, good long day hike.
9/19/2024 Topic: The Santa Rosas Sawmill Trail (Sort Of) dsefcik Administrator	Sooo....everybody knows this post is 8 years old right..??? AWESOME post Tommy750..!!

9/19/2024 Topic: The Santa Rosas Sawmill Trail (Sort Of) dsefcik Administrator	Rocko1 wrote: We have gained the Santa Rosa ridge from old native trail near Stiffereno. The trail was 'visible' in areas. Takes a keen eye to see these old trails. Just compacted enough that the vegetation can't really take off on it. That is a fun trail up and tough on the knees down. The climb from the cottonwoods to Toro is a bit tougher, longer and can be hard to find if the brush is bad but makes a good day of hiking to relax later at the peaceful cottonwoods campsite.

I thought I did but after looking thru all my tracks I did not find anything. There was a period of time when my back was bad I didn't carry a gps, it may have been then. Basically just go up the ridgeline from the cottonwoods, you should should faint trail markings and cairns here and there. Here is the basic idea: Hope this helps -- ---Map Edit-- edited by dsefcik on 9/26/2024
