The park is for all practical purposes full for the season (not only this year but next year as well).
But the they have 8 "campground" sites (water & electricity) used for park employees which are available to people like us who don't reserve a year or two in advance when not needed for the hired help. We got into one of those sites for 2 nights, then 3 nights in the "dry camping" (no hookups) overflow parking lot, then back into the "campground" for 4 nights. We don't have a manicured and paved site to park on, but we still have use of all the resort has to offer - pool, hot tub, exercise room, golf course, etc. And it's less than half the normal fees! That really makes me a happy camper!
It's 9 additional days in Borrego Springs - then we promise you won't hear Borrego Springs again.
We will be heading to Joshua Tree National Park, then maybe Desert Hot Springs, might try out some San Bernardino County Parks in the Victorville CA area, and on to Carpinteria State Park just south of Santa Barbara for an 8 day stay on an ocean campsite. That will put us on the road North to maybe wine country on March 4th. But there is lots of time to change our mind between now and then!
Yesterday was very pleasant. Today the cold front that is effecting most of the country is giving us a mid 50's high and some windy gusts. Too cold to sit outside, but still sunny.

Sister Beth - do I look happy here?
Gracie got a new "pet" rabbit - Rocky
He's giving her a nasty stare and she is not going to take much more
Yep! She's letting Rocky know who the boss is
All the clouds we saw today were at sunset
Just a couple golf course pictures
