Then, we will head to Anza Borrego to meet up with the rest of the basecamp trips. Scott’s megatent may or may not make an appearance. When we wake up on Saturday we will enjoy a nice breakfast before packing up camp and heading to the beach. At the beach, we will be digging a hole to CHINA. But worry not, we will still make it back to campus by early evening on Saturday.
