TR: Anza Borrego XTC Training Session with Alex

I had the great pleasure of meeting Alex (c.traveler2) and Julie this weekend in an short but sweet Anza Borrego adventure. It was his first adventure to Anza borrego and I wanted to show him around. Actually it was more of Alex showing me how its done XTC style.

we were to meet in Blair Valley, and a few truck campers kept coming by which I thought was Alex
Not this one, I think he has a hardside lance


This was a hardside but not a Lance


Here was a hardside lance but didn't look like his truck


I think this is his rig :)


Our 2 rigs saying hello


We headed off through Blair Valley to check out some of the Jet Crash sites around




we headed off to try and find the two jet crashes


Jet engine half burried


some of the wreckage


the landing gear, I guess they had a tire blow while trying to land


Brett found the wing






We headed into Oriflame Canyon and I got some XTC pointers from the Pro




we set up camp amongs the cottonwoods


I couldn't believe the canyon was bone dry, this is usually flowing pretty good...


some of the blooms






Alex and his rig


What a great trip! Alex, gave me so many good pointers on how to better equip my rig to handle the off road extremes. He even gave me a good pointer on how to replace my fresh water tank filler cap
