High Sierra Topix

Maverick, best wishes to your friend - that's a hard fight.

Thanks Scipio!
She is one of the most high energy/spunky woman, in her early 70's, that I have met.

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.

We're heading from the Bay Area to LA this weekend so will take a detour through Carrizo tomorrow.

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

or Anza-Borrego State Park, northeast of San Diego.. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/03/31/ca ... +-+Text%29

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.

Here are a few photos from last Friday. Mostly yellow with patches of purple and some faint traces of orange...
