2011 Trip across the US
2012 Trip across the US
Other Trips
At day 139, this in now my longest trip, with or without the trailer (I don't count the year in Vietnam as a trip!). Still having fun. Today I hiked the Panoramic Overlook Trail. A bit steep at times, but an easy 1 mile round trip. Since it provides a panoramic view of the park, here is a panorama. Don't click on the link to the large view unless you have a fast connection & plenty of data allotment- it is 2.7MB.

After the hike I drove into Borrego Springs (the nearest town about 2 miles from the park) to check out the shops, mail a card, and buy some groceries. I shouldn't complain about gas at $3.92 like yesterday - here it is $4.09 for regular unleaded. I toured the local art gallery - not all that impressed with most of the paintings, but there was some good photography displayed from a Desert Photography contest.
Didn't do much else other than the usual reading, relaxing, etc. I did finally catch a photo of the roadrunner that loves to run through my site. It is either an immature of female - the males have more color on their heads. I do understand why Wiley Coyote has so many problems - they are fast! I also included a photo of the my last sunset at Imperial Dam. While it is only in the mid 80's, it feels much hotter. Might be the bit of sunburn I got on the hike!

Dinner will be spaghetti and meatballs; I'll save the left over chicken breast for tomorrow. I was heading for a shower, but I think I'll wait until after dinner - about 20 kids just walked by carrying towels!
Until tomorrow -
