Anza-Borrego

When we find a place we like, we go back to it anytime we can and we are back in California’s largest state park filled with mountains, desert and dunes.

We left Lake Cahuilla on Valentine’s Day. I was feeling much better but still had a cough. Since arriving in the desert John has caught my cold and now has a runny nose and cough. The flu shot may keep it from lingering but we are still suffering.

The state park has put a lot of restrictions on the open desert areas where RVers used to camp. Now most of the sites are blocked off and we are all congregated together. Mind you the area is very large and we are not camped on top of each other. Just down the wash from our site sits another Bay Star RV exactly like ours! Of course, we met the couple and invited them in to see our rig. They bought theirs used and are wanting to upgrade the interior so they were very interested in what we had done. They are full time RVers who work from their rig, write a blog and host a Face Book site called RVtoFreedom.com for people who are fairly new to the RV lifestyle. They are a very nice couple.

Since John is not feeling up to par we haven’t done much. We explored Borrego Spings by car yesterday and today we revisited 17 Palms oasis in the desert and had a nice drive through the dunes, down washes and between canyon walls. When we came out of the desert we had a great view of where we had been although no roads or trails were visible. Yesterday I took a short hike up Coyote Mountain where I found some desert artwork someone had created.
