Off-road sights to see?

[toycruiser]

Hi guys.

I'm from South Africa, visiting family in El Centro for a week.

What are the off-road sights to see and things to around here? I am hoping to go see the guys at Fortin in El Cajon. Anything else i should see while I'm there? I did see the amazing offroad display at the San Diego automotive museum.

Tapatalk won't let me share pics of the beautiful TSCO truck and the McMillin Chenowth.

Glamis is about an hour east of El Centro: sand dunes.

Plaster City is about a half hour west of El Centro: lots of testing there by the off road racing community.

Enjoy your visit!

Fonts point is a cool spot to check out. It near Borrego Springs off hwy 78. Its a vista point that you can get to in a Honda car. Borrego Springs is mecca of off-road activity.

If your into trains, there are some long and cool abandoned trestles off of interstate 8 to the west of El Cento. If you get hwy 8 at Carrizo Gorge Rd and take it north west you will find the tracks. Just hike from there.

If you are into hippies and freaks, Slab City is a trip. Nothing to do there but look at some weird people. It's just east of Niland CA.

Google maps will show you all these places.

Don't forget Mexico is an few miles away.
