Awesome!! Drove to the mud caves a few years ago, what a ride!!

[@TerryManitoba]

Thanks for the video. I explored some of this area but did not go far enough east to have discovered SandStone Canyon. Next Time For Sure...

[@tonydang2067]

I can’t wait to come back!

[@alpinetactics]

Same!

[@joshthomas6410]

Marco is a great dude, I’ve spoke to him online and in person and he is always super nice.

[@alpinetactics]

Great guy!

[@alpinetactics]

I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed putting it together. This was most definitely one of my favorite adventures yet… so much so that I am going back in a few days. Make sure your subscribed so you don’t miss the unplanned Part 3!

[@shanefrechette613]

Great video, that place is awesome and has been on my list of places to seek adventure for awhile.

[@alpinetactics]

Thanks Shane! Man so worth taking the trip 👍

[@PinPeatHD]

Amazing crews! Great video and great run. Thank for sharing.

[@alpinetactics]

Thank you!

[@frankieg8908]

Going February 4th for the first can't wait!

[@alpinetactics]

Awesome! Hope you have a great time out there!

[@ansleythestewart]

Borrego is a place where you can spend a lifetime exploring and not see it all. Just left there around the end of October and already looking forward to the next trip. If you didn't know, take a look on the walls of those canyons and you'll see rubber up on the walls showing where the wash used to be. And that's what mega challenging about there - each trail changes - sometimes a little, some a lot - each time it rains, snows, etc. Just never know what you're gonna encounter. Great video, cheers!

[@alpinetactics]

Thanks for the insight! I will definitely keep my eye out on the next trip!

[@AceRiderLA]

*Very cool!!! I would love to ride with you guys*

[@alpinetactics]

Thanks for watching!

[@Ferdinandsoto]

to get to the mud caves you need to take Arroyo Tapiado rd, and walk in and out the caves as you are going thru the trail. is not one big long cave is a couple of short caves that you have to walk thru them.

[@oldrango883]

I prefer “Bacon with a side of oatmeal”. Bacon is always my main course 😂. Bein Southern I’d also switch the oatmeal for grits. But to each their own. Always a good time out in Anza Borrego. Nice video.

[@davidwilsongrahamjr3093]

Your in state park and can not build a fire on the ground. I know I grew up in the Imperial Valley and have drove all over that desert for years

[@ralphjones6165]

Agree. So sad. Was enjoying this video, then boom! That fire. Love this park and hate what some people do to ruin it.

[@nejcvrabl701]

You can test if eggs are ok. You put each in the water, if it floats, it's rotten. If it stays on the bottom, its OK.

[@alpinetactics]

Thanks so much for letting me know!

[@nejcvrabl701]

@@alpinetactics No problem. But don't just take my word for it, 2 minutes of g-search will give you (I hope) same answer. Take care!

[@OdySlim]

Toyota does have a kit for a second battery under the hood. As I mentioned in a past video of of yours you can use that second battery as both a starting battery and through the use of an isolator use it to power other camping devices. The great thing is you can charge the second battery with your alternator. Its just a suggestion. Thanks for the link to the down blanket. It looks nice . Regards from Ody Slim

[@alpinetactics]

Thanks Ody! I actually got around to installing the DC to DC charger earlier today so now I should be good to go!

[@bokchoy1904]

Sad to see that many people out there. When my buddies and I were kids that was a ghost town. Thank you Instagram! Good video though.

[@mariochavez4112]

That’s because people like this keep blasting coordinates all over social media

[@alpinetactics]

I don’t ever share coordinates publicly

[@Tacoexplorer]

I have a 2nd battery behind my seat in my 15 Tacoma. I can run my fridge 4 days without starting the vehicle. Highly recommend that space for a battery.

[@alpinetactics]

The battery I chose is a bit too big for that spot though. However I just installed the DC to DC charger today so now I’m good to go 👍

[@Tacoexplorer]

@@alpinetactics I got a group 31 back there and made a custom mount. I don’t think you can go bigger than that. Also have a redarc dc charger as well. Love this combo but the battery weighs 75 lbs. that’s the only negative. I’m in OC I think you are too. Welcome to check it out.

[@alpinetactics]

@@Tacoexplorer awesome man! Thanks maybe we can set that up sometimes. Is it on the driver side or passenger. I have the stock sub on the passenger side.

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Any mosquitoes out there? This trip looks incredible. Nice music touches too. I would totally do this. Of course, not alone. Some things are fun alone, but this is such an epic trip, only right to share the experience.

[@alpinetactics]

Not when we were there. There really isn’t water out there so I doubt there would be

[@CaptainFALKEN]

@@alpinetactics good info man. Keep on truckin!

[@jjsmama401]

Headed up there soon! Gonna rent a 4wd Jeep. Any advice? GPS a must?

[@alpinetactics]

Awesome have fun! I recomend it. You could download an app like on x offroad, download some offiline maps of the area and just use your phone. Most of the trails I talk about it this video are easily found on that app

[@adventurevanconversions]

Hi! We are shipping our Forester to the US on Tuesday. Do you have any GPX coordinates you could share ? We would be very thankful! ❤

[@ralphjones6165]

Why did you have that ground fire? Majorly prohibited in that park.

[@niteranger6376]

did you turn around in the slot?

[@alpinetactics]

Yes

[@surf2trails]

Grateful for this video. Exceptionally well done. Headed there for this holiday week and appreciate the trail guides as I plot my course. Planning for most of the same trails you traveled. What trail were you on that you pitched camp?

[@alpinetactics]

Thank you! There was a small loop somewhere along fish creek we turned into

[@itscarterandalex]

Do you remember what campsite this was ? It’s obviously primitive - or was it just a random spot on the side of the road?

[@alpinetactics]

It was just off a side trail along the fish creek wash

[@Shoeless_DA]

Just did similar run this past weekend. It's awesome out there! Check Font's Point at sunrise/sunset - spectacular.

[@alpinetactics]

Will do, thanks for the tip!

[@uli1891D]

Would a prerunner make it out there? How difficult?

[@alpinetactics]

Personally I wouldn’t take a 2WD but I’m sure plenty of people do it. If you take the exact route we did there are two places I think you would want 4WD. I’m not the right person to say weather it’s necessary or not though.

[@jorgepadua5802]

Will 2wd make it out there?

[@alpinetactics]

Depending on trail conditions it’s possible. I have seen plenty out there in good trail conditions

[@douglaskarpf481]

can you park a trailer there and take a UTV in?

[@alpinetactics]

I believe it’s street legal vehicles only. I could be wrong though.

[@douglaskarpf481]

do you need 4 wheel drive?

[@alpinetactics]

I personally wouldn’t do it without 4x4 especially if your planning on doing the same route we took on our trip however I’m sure there are plenty of people that have don’t it in a 2WD atleast maybe coming in from another way

[@oldrango883]

I do it in 2x4 even though our Durango is 4x4. I like seeing how far she will go in 2x only. However I now have a lunchbox locker so that’s doing a lot of the work to keep it in 2x.

[@mossybank2000]

02:42 - shaky video. Time to get a gimbal or a go pro and up your game my friend. Content is good though

[@irishred3032]

Eat the eggs! They hold lol

[@romekin]

just a fyi, eggs out of the fridge for a week is ok!

[@carbajalwil13]

Can any one help on how I could find the whole trail mapping 🗺️ for a new guy like myself? 😅

[@alpinetactics]

Download on x off road. Search the trails I talk about in the video. They are all on there

[@Max-ye9xg]

Great video I felt over stimulated with the background music sorry bro living in Southern California with noise all day just wanted to watch your video and not hear dramatic music maybe next time thank you anyway

[@williamcharnow9038]

Had to Bail at 4 minutes Music way too Loud!!

[@alpinetactics]

Volume button is always an option 🤷‍♂️
