About 2 miles into our trip from Island in the Sky down to the bottom of Shafer Canyon, we stopped to admire the magnificent views from the edge of the trail.
This trail is both scenic, and a bit of a thrill ride!
Let’s call it a E-ticket😍🙏!

This large rock managed to remain standing through uncounted floods that rushed down Smoketree Wash, a wash that is part of the 500 or so miles of drivable trails and washes in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park in California.
4x4 is strongly recommended.

Finally!
After having way too many hot, dry 80+ degree days this January into February, a major, multi day winter storm is getting to Southern California!
It’s raining, not too windy and down to 55 degrees, so I’m sharing a picture from the patio now 🤗!

Another photo for blue sky Monday.
This one has a Caribbean vibe, but is actually Paradise Point Resort, a very nice place in San Diego’s Mission Bay Park.
A fun place to rent a boat for the day.
It’s also just 10 minutes from the airport 🤗!

My first hike last April, after a knee replacement, was on the Guy Fleming trail in Torrey Pines Park in La Jolla, California.
It’s a pretty easy hike, and it will reward you with fabulous views of the Pacific Coast and the pacific coast highway!

Church Rock near Moab, Utah.
Legend has it, that it was hollowed out by a religious group and contains their church.
In reality, the farmer who owns the land, blasted a room into it to store cattle feed and supplies.

Our road trip nearing the end, we woke up to this beautiful morning after overnight rain.
The desert between the Vermillion Cliffs and the Colorado River was greeting us with a powerful scent of sagebrush.
The road ahead was pointing toward home, California ❤️!

I love road trips, specially in Utah!
First time on the Moki Dugway, officially state highway 261, I thought, this would never be called a highway in California!
A few miles later we got stuck behind a cattle drive, until a cowboy rode in front of us through the herd!

The desert is usually an unlikely place to find fish, unless you’re talking about the Desert Pupfish, which these are not.
The ponds at the Springs RV Resort in Borrego Springs, Ca, are stocked for strictly catch and release fishing.
