Sob!

We've been *hoping* for a chance to camp for a weekend or so at Agua
Caliente (not as far east, but getting there).  Trouble is, *blessing*
is, we actually have been having RAIN in So Cal this winter  :-D

But that means there's SNOW and ICE in the mountains that we have to
go over to get to the desert east of San Diego :-o   Nevermind the 'de-
class-ay'!  It's about not sliding off the side of the bridges that
span the gorges among the mountains!
