SouthWest 2011: Ninth Night at Borrego Springs

Tody was a moving day so we did not do anything of interest. Had to pack up the RV and all our "stuff" and move from site 51 to site 32. We are in 32 for 3 nights and then back to 51 for our last (???) 7 nights. May be hard to leave this weather.

Waiting for 32 to "vacate" I had time to work on my computer problem. I was able to recover all pictures and will post them below. However, my computer still has issues and I do not have full use of it.

Our comments were made yesterday about what we have been doing all week, the pictures follow >>>>>

Our Borrego Campsite

Start of "off-road" drive up to Fonts Point

View from the top of other party campers who drove up for the sunset/full moon

The Borrego "Badlands" as seen from Fonts Point

Here comes the Moon

There goes the wine

And there goes the sun

This picture and those following are just a series taken as the night falls

This is a picture of the Borrego Springs "main drag" from Fonts Point. Barely visable to the right of the thin ribbon of road is the airport runway

This next series of pictures is from our hike up Palm Canyon that starts here at the campground

While the hike started at our campground, the trailhead was about 3/4 mile away. This is looking back at the campground from the trailhead. Barely visable in the top 1/5 of the picture is a palm grove that is the campground. Blueboy is in there somewhere.

The first sighting of the palm grove - still about 30 minutes away

As dry as the area is, there is still water to be found up in the canyons

This is the Palm Grove in the canyon. About 20 degrees cooler in the shade with the water running through it. A welcome releaf before heading back down.
