We left Palm Desert and headed south, following the Santa Rosa Mountains and the palm trees.
In the distance were palm groves with thousands of palm trees. I have no idea but my best guess is they are raising them for palm oil.
 |
| The Salton Sea - Southern California Desert |
 |
| Maybe next trip. |
 |
| These guys were taking off right behind a gas station along the hiway. |
 |
| Boys and their toys. |
 |
| Camping in the desert is allowed too. Just pull over, set up and play. |
 |
| Mild to wild. |
 |
| "Campers" |
 |
| and more "Campers" |
 |
| Beautiful desert-scape (Also known as the Badlands) |
 |
| Almost like painted mountains |
 |
| Borrego Springs in the distance (palm tree oasis) |
 |
| Golf course in town |
There are probably 100 rusty metal sculptures all over the desert floor near Borrego Springs. We'll find out more and report later. So far all we can tell is that they are there and they are really cool pieces of art.
 |
| The office at our campground |
 |
| Campground office and golf pro shop |
 |
| The streets of Borrego Springs RV Resort |
 |
| That's our spot across the fairway. There are walking trails all around the golf course. Holly and Buster took this picture while walking. |
 |
| Looking back down the 2nd hole |
 |
| Entrance to Road Runner Golf next door. It's a par 3 executive type course. |
 |
| Our "Road Runner" |
 |
| Our view out the front window to the right. You can see mtns straight out front. (Beauty Everywhere!!!) |
 |
| Christmas Circle |
The circle is the center of the unincorporated town. They hold various events like a farmers market which we went to on Friday. Great avocado tamales with green chili verde and strawberries (of course).
 |
| Right on Christmas Circle is our bank so it was handy if we needed more quarters for the washers and dryers. |
 |
| Entering Anza Borrego State Park |
 |
| The campground in the park . Many sites with water and electric and then more "dry" camps all around. |
 |
| A unique setup. |
 |
| Drive up, set up and enjoy your own private Ramada. |
 |
| Happy campers in front of an LA fan palm tree. |
 |
| This roadrunner is stuffed and on display in the visitor's center. |
 |
| Along with a snowy white owl.... |
 |
| and a California Condor. |
 |
| We took a short hike down this trail. |
 |
| Great views of the valley..... |
 |
| and the mountains...... |
 |
| We think this is the Indian Head (laying down, face up?) |
 |
| This cactus is getting close to blooming. |
 |
| In about a month the valley floor will be covered in blooms. |
 |
| This one is getting a head start. |
 |
| A roadrunner came by our campsite to say good morning. Too bad he turned his head before the picture was snapped. |
 |
| The neighbors came out to see him too. |
 |
| Sunrise. What a way to start a day! Did we say how much we love this town and this area???????? |
