Loop and Olla Wash:

It was time for another adventure to the Anza Borrego Desert.  This time my Bro had some time off, (or so I thought) so we headed into Fish Creek Wash.  We go a bit of a late start and it started to get dark by the time we hit the dirt.  This was his first adventure to ABDSP and his first XTC adventure with his Truck Camper.  

We were going to head into Olla Wash but it got pretty dark so we set up camp in Loop Wash.

It was pretty cool having 2 hard sided shelters as the wind the next day had some pretty strong gusts.

We found a pretty cool cave in the area

I thought this might be some petrified scat :)

My bro thought we had landed on Mars

All of us hanging out flying kites, my bro had his hands full with his 2 and 1 year old!

Next generation of Desert enthusiasts ;)

This was a nice place to stop and use the natural environment to go ahead and clean my solar panels.  It was hard to believe this is the middle of winter in southern california and it was 72 and perfect.

It sucks being so far out and having cell phone reception because my bro got called into work and had to leave the party early :(

We continued on into Olla Wash to explore the peace and solitude of ABDSP

This campsite will do,  Free and WAY out there, just the way we like it.

If you are into geology you will love Olla Wash.

I guess all the ollas are gone, but there are a few Metates around

Did I say it was the middle of winter?  Brett finally figured out the perfect desert attire

He still has a lot of growing up to do

It was nice to see some color on the ocotillos

I love this pic :)

We lost Brett for a while and found him napping in a small alcove

I spy with my little eye

We just can't get enough of this place :)

Tile rummy anyone?

Team Sturgeon :  Hope you enjoyed the tour
