SUMMARY:WTC Book Club Is Ba-ack!
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by forests\, trees\, leaves\, roots\, and seeds\, The Language of Trees: A Rewilding of Literature and Landscape invites readers to discover an unexpected and imaginative language to better read and write the natural world around us and reclaim our relationship with it. In this gorgeously illustrated and deeply thoughtful collection\, Katie Holten gifts readers her tree alphabet and uses it to masterfully translate and illuminate beloved lost and new\, original writing in praise of the natural world. With an introduction from Ross Gay\, and featuring writings from over fifty contributors. \nJoin us even if you haven’t finished reading the book (there won’t be any spoilers).

SUMMARY:Anza Borrego Not So Epic (3rd day optional)
DESCRIPTION:This is Jerry Schad’s Indian Canyon / Borrego Palm Canyon Traverse.\nBack in 2021 I made this a loop and it may have been a little bit too epic 🙂\n(https://www.meetup.com/sandiegobackpackers/events/269364126/?eventOrigin=group_calendar) \nThis trip starts from third crossing. First night camp is Bennis Bowl. If you want to do a nice beginner trip you can join us for the first night. Or you can do the fun part and hike up Indian Canyon and down Borrego Palm Canyon. This is a car shuttle. \n“This is a grand tour of one of Anza-Borrego’s most remote\, rugged\, and beautiful areas. In the midsection of this trip\, you’ll pass through a pristine wilderness where the tracks of a mountain lion are far more common than the impressions of a lug-soled boot.”\nJerry Schad – Afoot and Afield: San Diego Country: A Comprehensive Hiking Guide \nDifficulty: Strenuous Backpacking Trip\nType of hike: Difficult Class 3. Rugged cross country hiking. Streams\, boulders\, dry falls\, brush\, loose rock\, etc. \nThis hike is a bit of a bushwhack. Long pants and long sleeves highly recommended! I will bring shears to trim cats claw 🙂 \nWeather \nDay 1 (Saturday)\nMeet at the corner of Montezuma Valley Road and Palm Canyon Dr.\n33.25645\, -116.39856\nShuttle to the closure of Coyote Canyon Rd.\n33.36880\, -116.42124\nDistance: 5.6mi\nElevation Gain/Loss: 1100’/0′\nHike up Coyote Canyon from the road closure\, to Sheep Canyon\, to Indian Canyon. There is water in Coyote Canyon and Indian Canyon.\nGAIA Route \nDay 2 (Sunday)\nDistance: 7.2mi\nElevation Gain/Loss: 3200’/3400′\nHike up ridge from Indian Canyon to Palm Mesa (sadly no palm trees there). Descend down north fork of Borrego Palm Canyon to the middle fork. There is water in the middle fork and lovely bathtub to soak in.\nWe may decide to camp a couple miles earlier at the merge of the north and middle fork depending on how people are feeling.\nThis is a difficult hike. If you’re not up to it there should be no problem to turn back and go back to the first camp. Please do not overexert yourself.\nGAIA Route \nDay 3 (Monday)\nDistance: 4.7mi\nElevation Gain/Loss: 0’/1450′\nDescend the rest of Borrego Palm Canyon to the cars.\nGAIA Route \nDISCLAIMER: Hike at your own risk. Be responsible for yourself and your safety. Make good decisions. With any trip\, things can change\, reservations can get lost\, the unexpected can happen. A go-with-the-flow attitude is always a good thing\, and most importantly\, let’s all have fun! This is an advanced hike. Make sure you are in good enough physical shape for the distance\, elevation changes\, and terrain. The hike leaders in this group aren’t professional hike leaders. By signing up for these events\, you agree not to hold the Meetup organizers responsible for whatever happens to you on these events.
