just trying to give a heads up about the blistering heat and how last year's temps are likely to be a repeat this year. Carry lots of water!! I also recommend bandanas, several. They have endless uses including cooling necklaces. I lived in the Anza Borrego many years ago, night temps got to about 118F and it was often 12?F in the daytime, can be a major strain on the body. Late Sept is probably a good time, as you said, nights should be cooler by then. Have a great time, it's soooo beautiful there.
