Pokey151 304 Posted November 12, 2025 I'd love to hit this this weekend. Is there a way to ride from Pinyon to fish creek, then back track maybe to diablo then back to the staging area across from stagecoach? Trying to do the ride with zero street If possible anyone interested in doing this ride? the soil should be ideal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SANRider 93 Posted November 12, 2025 Not that I know of. You'd probably have to do an out and back, requiring you to go back up Heart Attack Hill (or its bypass) and back up through the squeeze.

SpaceCowboy 73 Posted November 13, 2025 I'd be concerned with flash floods in some of those washes. Almost an inch forecasted on Saturday. I'm headed out to ocotillo wells and maybe borrego springs though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pokey151 304 Posted November 13, 2025 Sunday would be the preferred day to eliminate the possibility of flash floods, but I am open to either day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to do the ride with zero street If possible anyone interested in doing this ride? the soil should be ideal You would have to go back up heart attack which is a "one way" but not enforced. If you go back up Diablo a one way also you would be way too far south and about 20ish minutes of highway. No dirt connection. If heart attack is wet would be hard to get back up, Diablo would be easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSM8 454 Posted November 14, 2025 Given the uncertain nature of this storm (they cant seem to figure out how bad it will be and where) the risks of flash flood in those areas is not worth the ride but that is just my .02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might look into a Otay pink gate ride or something. I actually like riding DS in some rain once in a while. unless its flooding. Guess I'll wait and see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A 2 77 Posted November 14, 2025 Got myself in a precarious situation in my Jeep out there. They call it “Flash” flood for a reason. Had to admit it was pretty cool seeing a dry creek filled with water in A matter of an hour. Whatever you plan on doing, stay safe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 117 Posted November 15, 2025 Just leaving borrego now has barely rained all night and morning. Just been a sprinkle atleast in town Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1197 Posted November 15, 2025 Yeh, if you've ever watched a flash flood roll across the desert, or into and down canyons. . . it's a powerful sight. One that changed my perspective on rain in the wild regions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpaceCowboy 73 Posted November 18, 2025 (edited) Epic pictures, Kato. I didn't realize that was you out there. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it out because we weren't sure if we'd get the klx running well enough to ride. Sure enough, we got it going and sure enough, ran into you out there not even knowing you were on here too! I'm Truman and I was on the ktm 450. My buddy was on the Klx. We'll have to ride together again soon Edited November 18, 2025 by SpaceCowboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And here is the video of tapiado the day prior as I was telling you. Pretty cool. Diablo was even gnarlier but I was in adrenaline mode and didn’t film it.

Zubb 1197 Posted December 2, 2025 Note to self. Next rain storm, drop everything and get to fish creek with the 450. No excuses! Flash floods in the desert, while quite dangerous…. Are absolutely FASCINATING. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
