Post your upcoming trip out to Anza Borrego here. Great place to organize a group trip.

I am planning a backpacking trip into Bighorn Canyon this weekend. Hopefully I will find a suitable place in there to set up my sleeping bag and spend the night. I am hiking in to look for Blue Spring and then make a traverse to the east through a small pass and down into Nolina Canyon. Then hike down and out through Nolina Wash to make a loop. There is suppose to be some kind of wildlife bubbler/watering system near the spring. I have seen a few of these in the Mojave and up around the Table Mountain area off I-8 but not out in ABDSP. I figure about 7+ miles and a little over 1000' elevation gain. Of course I will be sure to camp far away from the spring (if I locate it) so as not to disturb the wildlife. Never been up in this part of the Pinyon Mountains before and I am looking forward to exploring a new place. Looks like good weather too. Not much of a moon and mostly clear skies.
Anybody been up this way before? I am not sure about connecting Bighorn and Nolina Canyons. I read it could be done but don't know anyone who has been up there.
