BORREGO

It's Monday, our 19th day in Borrego, and our last day in the State Park.  We move tomorrow to Springs of Borrego RV Resort for 6-9 days.  It's only about 3 miles away, but still need to "pack it all up" to move.  It's been nice not to have to do all that because we were here in one spot for so long.  Sad to leave "our" State Park.  But, moving on!

Today we got an early start and hiked a 6 mile round-trip up "Hell Hole Canyon".  Not nearly as difficult as described in the park brochure, but a nice exercise for us anyway.  Some pictures from the hike follow as well as a few from days ago I finally downloaded from my phone.

But first, looking at the Weather Channel, we can only say "we are so happy to be here"!
