Anything about Anza Borrego that does not fit into one of the other forums.
Met Diana Lindsay near the San Pascal Battlefield.

I met Diana Lindsay at the archaelogical museum for the San Pascal battle reenactment yesterday.
I am a fan of her Anza Borrego knowledge and books.
She has a newer book on the various sculptures. It had great photos and I was very tempted to purchase the book but I am trying to limit myself to out of print books or eBooks because I have an entire wall of books and most are non-fiction. I do read and enjoy those books, but I do not want to keep aquiring such books (for out of print books there likely will never be an eBook option so I am making an exception for those).
Of course this book is a good one to have in actual book form (versus eBook) because the photos are great.
I enjoyed meeting her and our brief conversation.

Was the reenactment at San Pascal? I heard they may be shutting down that museum/park.
I have quite a few Sky Art sculpture pictures on my website http://www.darensefcik.com/Photography/Anza-Borrego-Desert-State-Park/Sky-Art/16733252_WcCZts
I was going to try and go meet her at the book signing a few weeks back but did not make it out there..I should have tried harder....

It was at a dirt lot directly on the other side of the road from the archilogical center that is a little East of the Battlefield visitor center. I had not heard about it possibly closing down but I have been there when it was not the day of the reenactment and there was not many people there so I would understand at least it being considered for closure as this was only my second time there and I have been in San Diego 47 years this month. Yesterday, with the reenactment, it was fairly crowded. In addition to the reenactment they had various displays that were there just for the one day such as candle making, a camp, etc. The actual reenactment was unwhelming and I hoped for more. Still I was glad that I found the time to go but having seen it once I likely will not go again.

I have seen some/most of your photos of the sculptures and you also have some very nice photos of the sculptures and your photos would compare nicely with the ones in the book (both your photos and the book are very nice photos).

I think the potential closure is part of the whole state park closure budget problem

I have driven by the museum many times but never stopped in..maybe now should be the time.....
