Wow, we LOVE Borrego Springs. What a fabulous desert valley surrounded by mountains. Our RV park is bordered by the San Ysidro Mountains which often had rainbows above it, and the Anza Borrego State Desert Park. The park is 600,000 acres of wilderness and there are lots of places to hike and camp away from it all. We drove up into the mountains and hiked at Culp and Blair Valleys, where we got caught in some rain and the temperature dropped to 40 degrees. Mary wasn’t prepared for that, when it was 70 when we left our little house.
The desert is starting to bloom and there are so many interesting cactus and new plants to explore. We hiked up Palm Canyon to an oasis with a large creek flowing and several varieties of palm trees. We looked and looked for the Peninsular Big Horned Sheep, but they eluded us. There were jack rabbits and road runners and a few lizards and every evening we heard the calls of the coyotes.
We are really enjoying this new and diverse environment and may spend more time in the desert than we planned. It's quiet and the buzz of the city is a distant memory now.
