I was curious if you got any rain down there. It really must have made it that much more enjoyable.
I got this book way back in 2005/06 (the name escapes me right now..."backroad of Southern California" or some thing like that) when I first got my 05 4R 2WD. I stayed on the mild, easy trails (e.g., Fish Creek) and never had any issues. I mean I've seen a Miata on these trails so I'm not expecting any problems. Always had a good time out there. Anyway, I was recently thumbing through it looking for some trails since I got the new rig recently. Looked like further South there are some pretty good, moderately-rated trails. Those piqued my interest and I was hoping to stay overnight while out there. Then as I was reading the trail description it warned of having to be careful because those trails are closer to the Mexican border so there's a higher likelihood that you may come upon border hoppers. Yeah....so still mulling over the overnighter. I got a good chuckle out of it though.
