Califonia Slot Canyons?

[Iceaxe]

Hey... any of you SoCal canyoneers ever checked out the Borrego Springs slots?

"Located a two-hour drive northeast from San Diego, the parklands include mountain peaks of more than 6,000 feet, down to the desert floor near sea level. There are jagged slot canyons carved by floodwaters, and vast expanses of desert decorated with the graceful ocotillo, a deciduous shrub that has scarlet flowers at the end of each spindly branch when blooming."

those are the absolute best and only good shots of that complex

After talking with several SoCal canyoneers who have visited these slot canyons I'm under the impression that.... yes, they are cool, but if you compare them to the Southern Utah canyons you will be disappointed.
