Anza Borrego Desert State Park

Pulled into Borrego Springs, California and headed to the Desert State Park.  Having been here on our first RV trip back in 2011, we knew we wanted to return.  And besides, Morey's favorite T-shirt, which was purchased here, had worn out; so he needed a new one.

Great campsite up against the desert mountains.  Even though the temperatures reached the mid 80s, it was always comfortable in the shade.  So with the shade from our motorhome and the ramada  covered picnic table, we enjoyed the desert and then, the night skies.  We did let the sun send out its photons to power our solar cells; wow did we get the power!

Met up with our friends, Ray & Ann, and Ray's sister, Nan and her husband, Dave.  With three rocket scientists in attendance, it made for interesting conversations.  We all had a great time hiking to the Palm Oasis near our campsite.  Amazing to walk a mile and a half in the desert, and then come across a spring with palm trees.  On the hike we saw a number of big horn sheep, including some new additions to the herd.

We also got out our bikes and rode to town and checked out the local attractions.  There is a large Sculpture Park on the edge of town filled with steel plate sculptures.  We biked on the sandy roads of  the desert deciding which sculpture was our favorite.   Was it the prehistoric elephant, or the camels, or the dragon?

We'll be back to Anza Borrego; a good stop when the winter weather is howling back east.
