Photo Report: The Slot hike in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

Mike N' S'mores1 year ago1 year ago03 mins

Hiking “The Slot” in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park was probably one of my favorite nature walks of all time. I say that because it’s not a very strenuous hike, more like an adventurous walk through a nature park. Walking through this siltstone canyon makes it feel like you’re walking in a scene of Star Wars…

2wd truck in snow and ice: Not so good

Mike N' S'mores3 years ago3 years ago08 mins

This most recent trip to Lake Arrowhead was absolutely amazing with a huge amount of snow but it might have been the straw that broke the camels back. We’ve used my 2wd Toyota Tacoma Prerunner for camping, overlanding/offroading, and family trips for the past 5 years. But never has there been a time that I…

Stingray pain relief — Hot water

Mike N' S'mores5 years ago4 years ago02 mins

I’ve lived in Southern California all of my life and have been to the beach countless times. Never have I been stung by a stingray, jellyfish, or anything for that matter. Not even a bee! But something like this eventually happens to everyone, right? I was recently stung by a stingray and it was the…

A hidden gem we found when cruising around June Lake this summer. What a cool story!

When we found the Palm oasis in Anza-Borrego
Day 2 in Anza-Borrego... we started the hike around 8am and it was beautiful. Cool, yet windy and a little overcast. We finished around 11am since 3 miles with a 7-year old birthday girl is slow-going. But she did great and had a blast climbing rocks and traversing the stream. So much color in the flowers and hills. We were searching for bighorn sheep, but couldn't find any. I know they were hiding somewhere. Finished the day with Burgers and Shakes at @big_horn_burgers highly recommended. This was last week and I've read that the blooms are already gone mostly because of the warmer weather and wind this weekend. Anza-Borrego Desert State Park has become one of my favorite places to explore. And I've only scratched the surface. Can't wait to get back out there! @anzaborregodesertsp @anzaborrego
