Setting the Scene
The journey began at the visitor center, a hub of activity located at 200 Palm Canyon Dr in Borrego Springs. Here, amidst the backdrop of desert vistas and towering palm trees, Jeff and his wife Mary Jane gathered with a diverse group of van owners, hailing from as far as Michigan and Oklahoma.

For those with little or no prior off-road experience, the journey served as a transformative experience, empowering them to embrace the thrill of adventure with newfound confidence.
Building Bonds
Beyond the technical aspects of van exploration, the trip also fostered meaningful connections among participants. As they traversed the desert landscape together, shared challenges and triumphs forged bonds that transcended mere acquaintance, blossoming into genuine friendships. In the vast solitude of Anza-Borrego, the van community found not only adventure but also a familiar sense of community.
