Where Are We Today
(click on pic to enlarge)
To say that we are in the desert near
Borrego Springs is a very broad statement. To put it exact, we are in
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, settled in Clark Valley between the Santa Rosa and
Coyote Mountains at 33.226*N by 116.348* W. If looking on "Google
Maps", we are east of Borrego Springs Ca., follow Palm Canyon Rd. to
Pegleg Rd. to Borrego- Salton Seaway, this is all one road called State Hwy 22.
Where Pegleg Rd. turns into Borrego - Salton Rd you will see Rockhouse Trail to
the north, we are a few hundred yards in and off to the right. Now that's about
as exact as I can get and maybe more then you want to know, but there is a
reason. The reason, it is one of the most beautiful areas that we have been in.

I hope that you have been following
Pat's blog, find it HERE, to see what we have been doing day to day. This post
today, is more about what I see in the scenery. We use a camera to let light
images in through an opening in a lens, that record on a digital card for us to
look back on. Although, with my very limited picture taking ability and using
auto exposure settings, the pictures don't do justice to what those same light
images passing through the lens of my eye and travelling the electrical
pathways to that location in my brain where I see the image and record it in my
memory for hopefully years to come. Of course, the pictures will help to
stimulate that memory from time to time. This post is about that scenery, the
mountain colours, the green desert and the winding, twisting and turning roads.
So , here are some of those pictures.

I hope you have seen some of the
beauty that we have seen and there is much more to see. We will come back to
this area again and continue to explore all that it has to offer.
