Borrego Springs

The core of the state park is the small town of Borrgo Springs so on Sat., despite John’s cold, we rode our bikes the 8 miles into town, explored a bit, ate lunch and rode back , putting 18 miles on our bikes. During our exploration and shopping friends from MO ran into us at the Outfitters store. I was loking at some dresses next to a window when this lady stuck her face to the glass. Low and behold I knew her!! Sue and Rory came down from Palm Spring to explore the town too.

After church on Sunday we shopped some more and then drove around the town and came upon some metal sculptures we had not seen on previous visits. We drove through an RV community, went past a couple of golf courses and decided not to go into the park office as it was very crowded due to the holiday weekend.

The forecasted windstorm kicked in with a blast of sand and grit late Sunday afternoon and continued all day on Monday. The blast caught us off guard and filled the RV and the Jeep. What a mess! Because of the wind we did a driving tour around the area going through Warner Springs and Julian, stopping at an Escapees Park and taking a 1 1/2 hour tour, and trying to determine if we could take our 30 foot RV up and over and around the mountains. Lots of curvy, steep, narrow roads. Probably not going to drive those routes.
