Something I didn’t think about, but could be important since I have none. Is there cell service/signal?

@Ch3lland @Snupee. Thanks for jumping on this as I’m coming into the last few weeks of Crazy work schedule I barley have time for family. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it out Friday and if I came out if would be after 5 o’clock on Saturday as I have events both days. I’m down for what ever and I’m hoping I can at least make out Saturday night.
It's spotty at best while in Fish Creek. My phone cuts out near Split Mtn.

@Snupee. What do you think about coms. Maybe have two meeting spots. Locked down for camping. If spot one if full we go to spot two? So people will know to check spot A first the spot B

@Ch3lland @Snupee @WhatTheZo @MTN RNR . Meet up beginning of next week and lock down the details for this trip and what we will be going over. And trials list for easy med and hard. For people to run? Thoughts?

Is GRMS popular in the SD Overland Bound Community? Tossing around getting a GMRS unit for my rig for this trip.

This is Wally. Like Tucker I’ll arrive SAT as well, probably ~6-7pm. Probably just three of us in my F350. I’ll deploy my Habitat, so a very long footprint. I’ll look FWD to camping area details. Thx all

I love Borrego. New member here... Might be interested in joining... please post details after you meet up!

Karl Strauss seemed quiet enough, but I'm not very familiar with that area in general. I'm downtown but there's not a ton of venues conductive for a meeting... Somewhere with parking would be a better start than anything I could come up with

I think the Overland Bound group overall is really pushing towards HAM. I am planning on pursuing that route at least. I know that may not be doable by this Anza trip... I will be going "old school" and just letting people back home know the itinerary/scheduled contact times. The next trip I will plan on having my license and a starter radio though.

We can always just do it at bitter brother. Same area as Karl. What time. If we can do 2-3 that would work best as I have to leave my work by 3:30.

Sorry getting back so late to everyone, just got back yesterday afternoon from a last minute prerun trip to Anza this weeked. I can meet up tonight at around 5:00 at Bitter Bros to discuss the camp spot/s, Comms, meals etc. Sorry I can't make it any earlier unfortunately.

Productive meeting tonight, I'll get details updated on the Rally Point asap (probably tomorrow 10/8).
Rough outline: Friday night we will camp at a slightly different spot near Ocotillo for those able to make it. We will make our way to Fish Creek campsite Saturday and meet up with those planning on doing a 1 day/night outing. We can use the wash area as a plan B in case the actual Fish Creek site is packed - but hopefully we won't be running into any issues.
Saturday morning will be a light review of recovery gear, methods, possibly demonstrations. During the day we will go exploring, dividing up among similar interests and capabilities (or if everyone's up for the same thing, we will all go together).
Sunday is still flexible, there's a tentative plan to catch the sunrise at a cool spot, and then also going through Borrego Springs to see the sculptures. Again we can divide up among similar interests Saturday.

Rally Point updated, @MTN RNR @WhatTheZo @hopkillin @Snupee are all admins on the event so feel free to make edits if needed. Everyone else feel free to check out the description and the Rally Point notes. If you have any questions feel free to comment or get in touch with me directly.
My travel plans - I will be leaving from downtown San Diego Friday 10/18 in the afternoon. My goal is to make it to camp #1 by dinner. If anyone has a similar route or timing plans, we can meet up and travel together.

I’m really trying to make it both days. Just have to see about work. On Saturday hoping I can pass it off. If I don’t get Saturday off I will be heading out around 3 o’clock (I hope) from la Mesa and hope to make day 2 camp before sunset.
