Hi Fellow Hikers!

My nam de plume is, "Julian Borrego", I've lived here for 50+ years, and 
always enjoyed hiking and riding trails, in the Cuyamaca, Laguna, 
Anza-Borrego areas. and meeting  the people who use them. In fact our 
family used to operate horse stables in Laguna, and Cuyamaca long ago.

I have converted my wood shop into an inexpensive dormitory for hikers, 
$10.oo a night, (includes coffee and toast). Absolutely GREAT Views!  I 
will also have other accommodations soon. E-mail me if you'd like a 2 
mile car ride to the Dorm.

You can call 760-765-3351-------BUT BE SPECIFIC; ie;" I am a 'HIKER' 
wishing to speak to Mr. Julian Borrego", leave your number. And where 
you need a ride from. Or you can get directions, for hiking here.

No web site. Yet.

I just want hikers right now, on a trial basis ,,,,,other tourists 
maybe. I'm not sure being open to the general public for $15.oo dollars 
a night will be a good idea.

Other than large acreage,  few beds and a micro-wave and coffee maker 
and outhouse, I'm not sure what would fill the needs of long distance 
hikers.

I will prepare food for a small fee, like diner prices at Denny's. And 
or I hope to have a small kitchen available in the near future.

 If you have any inexpensive good ideas that are easily obtainable and 
appropriate, please let me know?!

Foot bath's?!!

Also I ,, or my neighbor,,,, may,,,,,  provide transport to 
town,,,,,Julian, Borrego,,, Ramona,,,other points east or west.   And 
MAYBE watch your doggies while you hike threw this area?

Yes,,,,,watch out for rattlers. I usually come into contact with 4 a 
year. looking for water, or pack rats, which are plentiful here in 
Anza-Borrego.

The rats LOVE small items to collect. Don't leave anything smaller or 
lighter than a 6" ratchet and socket with a 6" extension. Yes the little 
beasts took my Craftsman tools, like they had their own tool shed 
somewhere! Small and shiny is also a real prize for their collections.

Anywhooooooooooo,  I write too much. If I may be of assistance,  feel 
free to write me at my e-mail--patbrooking at nethere.com. I will be 
changing that e-mail soon, and posting the new one.

Good Luck Everyone!
Your Fellow Hiking Supporter and Enthusiast!
