[BULK] - [pct-l] Suggestions for a Day-Hike between Campo and I-10

[jeffmoorehead1 at cox.net (Jeff Moorehead)]

the desert is still blooming away-- mostly the shrubs (indigo bush, desert 
lilac, ocotillo, palo verde, smoketree, creosote). The cacti are also in 
full bloom. There are still some herbs blooming and some bizarre-ass plants 
that I have yet to encounter (probably from the stonecrop family). Soooo.... 
the desert is still a great hike with lots to see. Up 'on top', it's cool, 
refreshing, and just downright beyond pleasant...

Are the wildflowers still in bloom in The Borrego?
Last weekend was awfully warm in the San Mateo Wilderness...perhaps The
Borrego is too warm to be a comfortable hike? If so, the San Jaccs from
Saddle Junction to Black Mountain would be relatively free of snow?
Barrel to Warner is now one of my favorite 8 mile day hikes!

Or...

Mt Laguna to Cucaracha should be VERY nice right now! Easy to shuttle a
car too!

Please accept my apologies for my ignorance on this post, but.



I'm going out to San Diego next weekend on business.  I live on the east
coast and rarely get chances to go out west.  I want to hike the PCT
next year though and would really like to go visit some part of it while
I'm out there.  I think that Mt. San Jacinto might be one of the most
scenic hikes, but from what I've read (I haven't been reading as
carefully as class of 2005 regarding snow) it seems like it would quite
a trudge through some deep stuff (???).  Does anyone have any
suggestions for what would be a nice (long) day-hike say somewhere
between Campo and I-10?



Many thanks in advance,

Ben Racine
