Where are we today
clic a pic to enlarge it
Just another desert day here up early and waiting for the sunrise to get things done and on the road again. Its been too long for us in one spot, even though we had fun with friends.
Walkabout at 7 am them we secured our coach, Suzie got her last Tucker fix for a while, We said see ya later to some of our friends that were up and out and headed to the dump station at 8 am.

| Tucker fix for Suzie |
No line up at the dump station, we pulled right in. Emptied our sewage, a full 2 weeks for us then refilled our fresh water. Into town top up our propane only 19 gallons for 3 weeks, and fill the coach with gas. Only 40 gallons not bad since we last filled early December.
Hooked up the car and headed west on I-10 to Box Canyon Road towards the Salton sea and towards Borrego Springs California. Lotsa free boon docking spots in this area.

Nice to get off the freeway and onto a wonderful scenic 2 lane road that we have never travelled. Along Box Canyon Road to Mecca California.

| so peaceful |

this canyon road is
amazing |
 |
| heading into Mecca looking like vineyards |
 |
| so much salt here in the ground |
Then we headed on to Anzo Borrego State Park looking for a nice boon docking spot.
 |
| a slow drive but no traffic |
 |
| wonderful scenery |
We scouted our a few places and settled right here. All set up by 1 pm PST. we gained an hour heading west, another time change.3 Hours earlier than back home.

a perfect very warm day
76 f in the shade, loving it |
All set up , Weber Q and the satellite dish, now can relax in the shade and get back into another book again.

desert vegetation is beginning to grow
after this winters rain |
Our neighbour came by to say hi as they could smell my chicken cooking on our Weber Q. Nice couple from South Dakota.
With the time change and close mountains the sun was setting just after 5 pm but we had planned for that. But it also rises an hour earlier about 6:30 , much nicer for us.
Chicken done shortly after 5 and added to a tasty salad. A nice 5 lb chicken I pick up the other day on sale $4.80 we will get quite few meals from this plus a large tasty pot of chicken soup.

chicken done to perfection
spiced just the way we like it too |

| yummy |
Now it is so nice to have a change of scenery, relax in the sun and enjoy the ever increasing temperatures at this time of year.Looking forward to seeing some desert flowers after all the rain we had.
Thanks for stopping on by and hope you had a wonderful day as well.

Looks like you had a pretty easy drive today, and found a nice spot. Enjoy the peace and quiet and warm winter days. That chicken sure looks good!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day, now enjoying more great sunny weather.
DeleteWelcome to SoCal! With Clark Lake area so restricted it is getting harder to find good boondocking spots - yours looks great! As Daryl said that chicken does look good! Enjoy your stay, looking forward to following along
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff, it is getting harder to find a good spot, But most are not too bad, the nice thing is if we don't like our neighbour we can always move.

DeleteWe'll make it to Borrego Springs one day too, it looks like a nice spot. We are settling in here at a higher elevation in California but loving our full hookups and change of scenery too. After a month of just sand and sagebrush, I like this grass, trees and similarities of a Provincial Park without the crowds.
ReplyDeleteThe full hook ups is nice for a change. We will get lotsa grass and trees in the summer, for now this works great for us.
DeleteWe'll be in Borrego Springs in about 2 weeks.....how long do you plan to stay there?
