This is a night time run through Anza Borrego starting at the Canyon Sin Nombre trail head off S-2 at mile marker 51.3. We'll meet at Carl's Jr in South San Clemente and Caravan on down from there or you can meet at the trail head. We'll see Mud Caves, bring your flashlights; the caves are a perfect 72 deg. We will spend a little time in the caves before moving on. From there we will move on to traverse the old swap area, if your top is off make sure you have some bra or cover, we will be driving through mesquite trees, they have thorns and will bite, but just a little if given the chance. Then we will head over to Diablo Drop-off and play around on some of the hills at Diablo Drop-off and then head over the edge. We will run down Fish Creek to the primitive camp site where we will make camp about 2 AM. At dawn we head for home. Bring snacks and drinks, No firewood will be needed, it's still warm out there.
