Best, Steve
Reset your trip odometer to zero and look for the sign on your left at 1.40 miles from leaving Split Mountain Road. The campsite sits on a small bluff and has a his and hers vault toilet and that's about it.
33° 1'26.01"N 116° 6'36.23"W
My coords. are for the entrance to the campsite.

Looks like the guys beat me to it. I think I should be at that site around 8:30 or 9:00am.sdnative wrote:Fish Creek Primitive Campsite:

Looks like I'm in. I might have another rig or two with me as well. I might meet you guys in Julian or at the 79 & 78 as the Ramona loop is a little out of the way.

Sounds like a fun day trip! I'll probably be meeting up with you in Ramona. The last time I was out that way was last year, actually the weekend of the earthquake, we got out of there Sunday morning before it hit. I haven't seen Sandstone Canyon yet since the earthquake other than pictures, does anyone know if it is still blocked?

Glad to have you aboard, Tyler. As far as I know, the canyon isn't blocked but there are a few spots one must negotiate from the fallen rocks. I don't know how difficult it is so I'm looking forward to seeing it.SD07NISMO wrote:Sounds like a fun day trip! I'll probably be meeting up with you in Ramona.

It's open and passable but tight for the bigger rigs in one particular spot. Should be fun!BorregoWrangler wrote:Glad to have you aboard, Tyler.

If you guys are on the road from Albertsons by 7:15, you should be in Julian by around 7:45. So how about we meet in the high school parking lot just east of where the 79 meets the 78? I can be there between 7:45 and 8:00 anticipating you won't make the best case scenario time.
