Come join me on a rewarding hike out to Sombrero Peak in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park!




"Cone-shaped Sombrero Peak rises head and shoulders above the east lip of the McCain Valley plateau, overlooking a hundred-square mile expanse of rock-strewn mountains and gorges, sun-baked valleys, and distant badlands. Conversely, the peak itself is a prominent and familiar landmark widely observed from the desert below.
Climbing Sombrero Peak is a feat attempted by relatively few people, but not because of its height (4229 feet above sea level), which is quite modest. Rather, the peak is remote from paved roads, and its boulder-guarded flanks discourage those who are not willing to put up with either a long march to its base (from the west) or a shorter but sweaty eastern approach up from the desert floor." -Jerry Schad

Yeah...you made it! Who took the registry???? Was the chain there?
Geez, I still need to to post my Thanksgiving trip.

No, there was only the anchor and one chain link left.



Guess we need to plan a trip out and hoof up a new registry...
