The Springs at Borrego

Feb 2-7
We arrived in Borrego Springs in time to set up camp and prepare a couple of dishes for the Super Bowl Party held in the meeting room of the RV resort where we are staying.  John and I were the only Chiefs fans in the room, all the others were rooting for the 49ers.  A lot of friendly jabs back and forth until the Chiefs exploded in the 4th quarter, then things got quieter.  I tried not to get too loud but we were pretty happy for the Chiefs!  Great game!

This RV resort is surrounded by a lovely 9-hole golf course and is next to a residential area with an 18-hole golf course.  I think they got their name, Springs, from all the water hazards on these courses.  They also have a large pool, 3 hot spas, tennis courts, 8 pickle ball courts, horse shoes, and bocci ball.  This is a very active community.  John slightly twisted his angle the first day we played pickle ball so he has not been able to join me on the courts.  Instead we have been riding our bikes in the afternoons.  We had a 15 mile ride yesterday and a 10 mile one today. 
We normally camp out in the desert in Anzio-Borrego but we have opted to stay in this park.  One morning we drove out in the desert to see if we could camp in some of the places where we have parked in the past but found that area has been closed to motor vehicles.  It looks like desert camping in Anza-Borrego will not happen any more. I’m hoping we can go mountain hiking in a day or two when the weather cools down again.
