2009-08-27: BorregoFest Scouting Trip Report
Posted: Sat Aug 29, 2009 9:48 pm
On Thursday I took a trip to the desert in the heat to do some BorregoFest scouting. Although the day got a little warm, it was a great day in the dirt and I covered a lot of ground. I visited the campsite, ran Little Blair Valley, Rodriguez Canyon, Grapevine Canyon, Fiesta Valley, Gulp Canyon, and finished it all up with a night run up San Ysidro Mountain (Otay Truck Trail) where I caught the last part of our net and did some night time photography. It was great checking in for the last few minutes of the net. The only downsides to the whole trip was my wrong turn in Rodriguez Canyon and my dog throwing up in my truck again. 
Seriously, I could have gotten myself into a pickle with that wrong turn in Rodriguez but everything turned out in the end. Here are some pics from the day...
