This is a five mile hike near Mecca, CA... in the canyons east of the Salton Sea. The R2 that you'll spot is actually mine from when I was a kid... i.e. I've had that little dude since 1978...! He's a little battered and missing his middle foot, but holding on nonetheless... given that he's 37 years old. Oi... that's weird. Anyhow, this was an awesome hike, with various forks in the trail that were marked by arrows made out of rocks by past travelers. Without them it would have been easy to get very very lost... So thank you... whoever you are.
