Borrego Springs, CA

It's Saturday and we are getting what we came here for - no space heaters at night, sunshine during the day, and evenings warm enough to sit out and enjoy a fire or a dog walk or whatever we want without gloves and a jacket.  It is still a big "cool down" from 80 to 60 within 30 or so minutes once the sun goes behind the mountains, but we are adapting to our conditions.

Drove around the area a little today to explore given that we have so much time here - unlike previous stays.  Found orange groves and a "grove side" stand selling fresh oranges, grapefruit, and dates.  Bought a little of it all.  Immediately juiced the oranges when we got home and tested the quality with a generous dose of vodka.  Great orange juice!

Also found a new (to us) Mexican restaurant in town that was "pet friendly" so we stopped for lunch with the "girls" at our table.  Ate so much we just skipped dinner tonight (even with what the dogs got).

Wired the RV this summer for setting up the HD Tv outside when weather allowed.  Today (tonight) was the right time to try it out.  Too hot inside the RV to watch football today so I hooked up the flat screen outside.  What a great setup!

Still watchig the last game as I type, but brought the TV inside at 7:00 pm.  Not cold out, but just a little chilly to just sit and watch.  More of the same tomorrow due to games starting at 10:00am here so we won't get anything new in tomorrow.  Monday will be our day to hike and/or explore some of the numerous trails and sites with new pictures sure to follow.

Just a couple pics from today -

If you are not quite sure where Borrego Springs is - just stick a pin in the "80's"

I hired a "local" to juice my oranges - she looks to be enjoying herself

Making sure the quality is up to standards ( note the test "vodka and oj )
