This will be a fairly short report until I get the photos. And then it will likely just be another one line with links.
We left San Diego at 7pm heading out I-8 to CA-163 to I-15 and Poway/Scripps Parkway. There are a couple of good hills to go up to get to Ramona. Indy did great and there are no reports of being passed by trucks carrying portapotties. Not this time.
The weather beyond Ramona was very foggy with rain. Surprise for April but instead of the 93deg in Borrego on Thursday, the forecast for Saturday was in the 70s. We picked up extra fuel and butter in Ramona before heading around the mountains to S-2 and then down S-22 and Montezuma Grade. We got into the campground around 9:15 and the sign read "Campground Full." Thanks Sophia for planning ahead and getting reservations.
We met around friends, gave a tour of Indy, made smores, and went to bed. Tender and I went on hike to the visitor center in the morning on Saturday. She was a little too warm but didn't refuse to keep going. Rather, she was panting louder than Indy in second gear going up a hill. We all survived.
The weather was indeed great -- upper 70's perhaps -- and I went for a two hour cross-country trek Saturday. I didn't see any Anza-Borrego sheep but people reported them in Palm Canyon. The stars in the desert were brilliant; at least until the moon came out and scared them all away.
We headed out fairly early (8:30) on Sunday because the sun was up at 6:15 and the kids in the next site over started hunting for Easter eggs at 7. We were back in the city around 10:30. Indy passed through the 42K mark on this trip.
