An incredible weekend of trails, camping, and food are planned for this year’s BorregoFest. I know from past trips that this will be another great event. Last year's potluck left no one feeling hungry. Please let us know if you plan on attending. Runs for the event and other details have been posted and will continue to be updated.





Will this be your first time to visit Borrego Springs and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park?

If you have never been you will be awed by the incredible history, beauty and diversity of America's largest desert state park.

This is a great event held every year. I generally lead a few runs over the weekend. There's a mine tour in the Oriflame and Rodriguez Canyon area that is exclusive to us and is limited on the amount who can attend. We actually have permission to take you into these mines and, on a few of them, get the history and information about the mines from the owners themselves. It's quite an opportunity.

No fee is required if you are only coming out for one day or are making other accommodations outside of the group camp for spending the night. You are still allowed to come into the group site for the trail run meetings, potluck, and evening festivities each day. The fee covers a spot in the group campsite, access to the showers and swimming pool, a T-Shirt, a raffle ticket and the reassurance of not having to drive after indulging in the night time festivities. All the runs start at the campsite. The trailhead to the night run is just a few miles from the campsite as well. Fees are the same whether you stay for one night or two in the group site.

BorregoFest Central is set up at Stagecoach Trails Campground. It is located just a few miles south of Scissors Crossing on the S-2 on the west side of the road. Scissors Crossing is where Highway 78 meets the S-2. This campground is closer to the majority of the trail heads we frequent and offers good accommodations. Sites have already been reserved at the campground, and the campground personnel are looking forward to having us stay there. Our group campsite includes a huge bonfire pit, a huge canopy to have the potluck and raffle under, and even a stage if we need it. They have done some renovations to the site for this years event.

Accommodations Include:
-Country Store
-Heated Pool
-Nature Trails for Hiking and Horseback Riding
-Full-time onsite Management
-Horseshoe Pits and Shuffleboard
-WIFI Available
-Quiet and Secluded

In addition to all the usual festivities at BorregoFest, we are adding one more feature:

Amateur Radio License Testing !!!

That's right, OAUSA will now be offering testing sessions, and the inaugural session will be out in beautiful Anza Borrego, on Sunday, Oct 24, 2010, at the Stagecoach Campground, from 9:30am - 12 noon or so...

So, if you are thinking about getting your license, or upgrading it, no more excuses! You can mingle, wheel, eat, AND get your license at OAUSA BrregoFest 2010.
