ARRIVED IN BORREGO ON THE 8TH!

We got away from Bakersfield by 8:30 and we knew we would be in Borrego by late afternoon, which we were. We stopped to buy a mountain bike for Larry as we had a road bike here last year and the roads are not smooth enough to ride without shocks in most places! On the way Larry pulled over and I took a photo of the old girl pulling our car. This was in the Mojave Desert.




There was a little spring of water there, so I took a shot of it and doctored it a bit on photoshop to enhance the colour that my camera did not get right! There were paw prints near this water spring and they were large so I took a shot of my size 9's and the wolf's (had to be a wolf) big foot!






I think this looks like it should be a painting! You can see a white object near the edge and it was someone's paper cup, there are many off road trails here and a lot of weekend warriors use them and unfortunately leave the garbage. I tried to walk in to get it but it was rather like quick sand as I got closer and even the paw prints did not go all the way to the edge!
We had a sand storm the next day after we got here and it was creating a wall of sand at times! So no golf until yesterday..... I golfed that is, Larry washed the RV. We set up in our permanent site late in the afternoon and I will get some shots today. Larry and I played 9 holes this morning with Lynn and Bob, also have been playing the card game Play 9 with them the two nights we have been here!
Well I am off for a swim, we are expecting a visit for lunch from a friend of Larry's from his time in Toronto, Brenda, his ex-neighbour in Toronto. She is in California holidaying and is going to drive down to see us today!
