The Anza Borrego Desert (Part 2)

Split Mountain is a split in mountain that you can drive through. The mountain has been literally split in half by numerous earthquakes and the power of erosion of Fish Creek Wash.

#8 Get High

on nature. Okay so never leave your vehicle open in the desert in Springtime. Bees are looking for a home. During our hike my son says, I am going to the truck to get drinks. While waiting for him it seemed like forever we see him waving his hands and pointing at the truck. We heard there's a bee in the truck. Annoyed, we yelled back "Okay, well get the drinks and hurry back!" He walks around the truck for another five minutes. By that time I decided to come down off the hill and see what was going on. No reason he couldn't get the drinks if there was a bee. I had to be hearing him wrong. I get down there and the truck is full of bees. The biggest hive I had ever seen. After lighting a small fire in a container and adding green branches to it, it took about 2 hours to rid the truck of bees. So never leave the vehicle open. Even if you can see it. Lesson learned. 

    • Good question, and a thing you really have to be aware of. We started out at 70 degrees, but once you get into the canon the temps rise. It got to be 90 to 100 by 2pm.

#9 More fun

while we waiting for the bees to clear out. 

    • I never thought about it either. I knew it was safe being open, as there are no people around and I wanted maggie to have a place to go chill and drink water, but the bees thought it was perfect.

#10 See her?

We had a great time. If you ever get a chance to come by check this place out. 

Have a great day.

  1. Reminds me of the old joke, person driving to Chicago, sees a sign says Chicago left so they went home. In this case, heading to the mountain but mountain split, so head home!
