SUMMARY:Undetermined Anza Borrego Trip
DESCRIPTION:Putting this up to gather interest for an Anza Borrego Trip.\nI’m thinking about redoing one of my previous trips. All have water at camp. All are tough and have cross country travel (no trail).\nBushwhacking Hellhole – Better than it sounds! (tracks from previous trip to camp and waterfall Afternoon hike up to Hellhole Flat  Hike out\nRockhouse Canyon – Explore an Indian village\nAnza Borrego Epic – This one is maybe too epic. Can also be done as a shuttle if road to Sheep Canyon opens up (was not open when I was there in the Fall). \nThoughts?
