Anza Borrego State Park 3-5-20
We spent 3-5 to 3-8 in the borrego palm canyon campground. We stayed in site 115 which was fantastic. It is a no hook up site. We used the Solar Panel and did not need the generator at all. It that site you are close enough to the mountain that you are in the shade this time of year after about 3 PM. Weather was 85, 87, 72, and 68. The wind came up Friday night and laid down Sunday morning for a short while. We live in Lakewood (near Long Beach) and came in on the 10 to the 86 to S22. Its a longer drive than going through Temecula but really easy. First trip to Anza a few years ago, we stayed in Julian at a B&B and drove into the park (no TT), a guy towing a to hauler went by me on the mountain road. 1/4 mile later I passed him and the toy hauler was on its side. It was a windy day so I am sure it was wind and speed. Anyway back to my report. Campground as great. Clean restrooms and showers (50 cents for 2 minutes). The bighorn sheep came right down to the campsite in the evenings. We hiked into the canyon (as far as was open due to fire) on the alternate trail. Hiked at yaqui wells, box canyon, and alcoholic pass. Lots of things blooming, Fish hook cactus, Barrel Cactus, Ocotillo, Cholla, desert Lily, etc. Only downside was the wind on friday night and saturday night made the BBQ a pain.
