Thanks Scipio!

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Those who are considering going, go this coming weekend thru next weekend to get the best of the bloom, reports place it close to the 2005's spectacular showing, in some sections.

Cool, looking forward to the pictures! Fill up with gas, food, and water before Maricopa , the last stop for gas (50 miles away from CP).

I think everyone should dog pile on Dave's camp spot
If you don't know where you're going, then any path will get you there.

Re: Carrizo Plain Meet-up Mar-Apr
I'm heading there for a few days of camping in mid April. East of Julian which is farther South and 3k higher than Borrego Springs. Hopefully the bloom will move higher before moving out, but there should still be plenty of cacti in bloom.

I'm going on Saturday for the day - pictures a friend brought back show it's going to be stupendous.
