The gang is all here. Our meeting spot was on S2 at the Anza-Borrego park boundary near the town of Ocotillo. This was also where I camped Friday night.
Joe(me), Dave, Liz, Chuck, Dave, Ray and Carol at the start of the hike to the windcaves.
The trail was steep soon as we left the parking area.
At this point we are still on the main trail. Soon we will leave it to make our own way.
After leaving the trail, we found ourselves in this tight little canyon.
There were a lot of fossilized seashells in this little canyon.
We stopped here for a short break. Dave is figuring out a way we can take to approach the windcaves from behind on an XC route.
We decided to drop down into this canyon that should rap around and take us close to the caves. I had the windcaves marked on the GPS from a visit there last year so I knew we could find them.
The group up ahead descending into the canyon.
We could see some windcave formations above, but these were not the ones we were going for. The GPS said they were less than half a mile away, but behind that ridge.
