EDIT: Posted the run info in a new thread 10/22/09. This thread is locked.
Thought I would see if there was any interest in a Fish Creek / Sandstone Canyon run on Saturday, Nov 21. We did this last year just before Thanksgiving, and, other than Paul almost getting arrested, it seemed like everyone enjoyed it. I know that the weekend just before Thanksgiving is tough for some, and it's also the weekend after the Barstow desert cleanup, so I thought I would see what sort of interest there was before actually setting this up.
For those who have not been there, this is a very easy, stock friendly trail up a sandy wash for about 12.5 miles, then another 2 miles or so up a very narrow, very deep canyon, then back out the way we came. We'll do some hiking at the turn-around spot. When I say narrow I mean there are some spots that are probably less than 10 feet wide, and maybe 100 feet deep. If you like water-carved rock formations, this is probably the one of the most scenic places in Anza Borrego. Last year a few of us camped at the back of Sandstone Canyon.

It has not been a year since we went down there, has it? Geez.

It sure has been a year. I just looked back at the run thread, it was Sat the 22nd. We had a much larger turnout than I expected for that run too, considering that a lot of people thought it was too easy of a trail. That was a great campsite we had at the back of Sandstone Canyon.
