Location

Just off an unnamed dirt road that splits off of County Road S2 in the Anza-Borrego Desert amid a field of jumping cholla and various forms of yucca

Participants

LucasBrown

Expedition

The hasher drove from his home in Poway out along SR67 to SR78 to Butterfield Stage Road (County Road S2). Traveling south along this road, an unpaved dirt road eventually splits off to the left. After a brief drive down this road, the hasher parked the vehicle and commenced walking west-southwest towards the hashpoint, about 300 meters away.

Accompanying the hasher were two small canines who often found it advantageous to scamper ahead of the hasher a few dozen feet to some shade to mitigate the effects of the 100+°F heat. They failed, however, to distinguish between jumping cholla cactus and benign flora and consequently picked up several spiky burrs in their fur.
