Rally Point Details:
# Anza Borrego
The Anza Borrego Desert has a plethora of terrain types. This change in terrain will keep you on your toes but won't completely consume your time from taking in all the beautiful scenery. The terrain is rocky, soft sand, packed sand and muddy (during the wet season). There are many points of interest within the park. These POI's range from the "Hollywood & Vine" sign to the Calcite Mine. There are mud caves, if you're the brave adventurer, as well as many miles of canyons to explore.
We'll meet at McDonald's, 6800 Santa Rita Rd, Pleasanton, CA 94588 at 0630. If you're leaving from the South Bay, we'll meet at the Shell station in Los Banos (No Diesel at this Shell), 24729 S. Mercey Springs Rd, Los Banos, CA 93635 at 0800. We have a long drive down to Anza Borrego so the early start is imperative.
# REQUIREMENTS!
Get Ready Before we go
## Offline navigation
- many areas do not have phone service so you need an offline map solution, the attached GPX works great in Gaia. Pay for the app if you don’t have it, it could save your life. Paper maps always work as well. :)
- DOWNLOAD THE ROUTE see below (will update in a few days)
## HAM radio for Communications
- even if you don’t have a license you can listen in legally, there are a number of handheld radios that are satisfactory on Amazon available from $35-$200. Baofeng to Yaesu
- PROGRAM Mhz 146.460
## Extra fuel
- Prepare for 50-100 miles without Gas station!!
## Amber Chase Lights to keep the group safer on dusty trails.
- This is absolutely critical as our group will kick up a lot of dust and the wavelength of amber goes the furthest through dust clouds. Please mount them higher up on the rear of your vehicle and they can be battery operated, plug-in to a cigarette lighter, or hardwired to a switch on your vehicle.
- You must have rear amber lights to join this trip to help keep others from rear-ending you on the trail.
## Other
- Off road tires and Spare,
- Recovery Gear / Tools
- Stock high clearance required and should be fine,
- Definitely 4WD
- prepared for dispersed camping ie water, food and sleeping accommodations and please including pooper (leave no trace)
- Meds, emergency kit
If you arrive missing one of these requirements we encourage you to go have a great solo trip but it will put the larger group at risk traveling with us. Prepare-Outfit-Explore
