Otay Mtn. Wilderness 6/26/2017
Starting on a road. Temperature is OK for now, in seventies.
Border patrol warned us about high temperatures in the valleys (108F) and that he is on a mission to recover some dead body.
We Maniacs are pressing on.
Made it to the High Point.
We are going to the end of that ridge.
Otay Mountain.
Leaving the road.
There is some trail thru the bush but it is heavily littered by illegals.
Going mostly down.
With several steep bumps in between.
Another down.
Heli pad.
This one did not make it.
The border is less than ½ mile from here.
Looking west to Tijuana.
Our group.
It will be a long grind up. It is getting hot.
Big valve from big engine.
Made it up and looking for Steve and John.

Another pass.
John is back, great!
Enjoying his cold beer. While temperature outside is 97F.
