The last 2 weeks we’ve been dry camping (otherwise known
as boondocking) outside Borrego Springs, CA in Anza-Borrego State Park. The park itself is over 600,000 acres and one
of the few that allows campers to pick a spot and stay for however long they
choose with no permit or fees.
Over the last 2 weeks we’ve enjoyed warm sunshine and calm
days, rain and winds that rocked us like a sailboat on the ocean and cold
frosty mornings that had us fighting for the closest space near the small
propane heater after climbing out of bed.
We shared campfire conversations with new acquaintances, Christmas
Day morning coffee/cinnamon rolls and dinner with friends Tom & Dianne.
Willy has gotten lots and lots of leash free walks!!
Tomorrow will be our last full day here and then on to other
“pastures."
Today we hiked to the Clark Dry Lake Bed which you can see
from our motorhome.
The sun was warm enough to shed my sweatshirt and the breeze
was cool enough to be thankful I wore a long-sleeved shirt.
The contrasts of the desert are many and I believe “survival
of the fittest” had its beginnings here.
As the temps hike into the 60's and creep back into the 70's in the next few days it's very clear that what's hell on earth in the summer becomes heavenly in the winter.
Proof positive that timing is the key to desert visits .... and most other life events!!
Stay warm and see ya down the road!
