Title: Otay Mtn 2.0
Post by: Celt on October 26, 2017, 07:46:20 PM: My brother in law is going to be in town and wanted to do some off roading on Sunday 10/29. The desert is too freaking hot so I thought to myself, "self" maybe Otay Mtn? I have never been out there so if anyone is interested post up. I know it's last minute but it's a good opportunity for people to cancel those silly plans like Aunt Edna's 5th wedding or that annoying cousin that's having a Bar Mitzvah at the local senior center.

Some fantastic views from up there and even got buzzed by the Border Patrol helicopter (I personally think they were having a bit of fun with us) when it came up a steep slope out of our view and banked over about 30' above us.

Post by: SCUBA_Dale on October 30, 2017, 10:14:19 AM: I've heard that CBP flies over a lot with offroaders on Otay. I took a small group to Valley of the Moon on Saturday and had CBP waiting for us at the bottom of the trail. No issues, just routine.

On a side note, I had never done the trail we went on before, and it was awesome. I would love to throw a day trip together for everyone to share the experience sometime soon.
