Palm Canyon RV Resort Borrego Springs, California

I began the day with a walk at Ocotillo Wells.  I carried the trash to the dumpster and then walked along the highway to the ranger station.  Then I trudged along the sandy OTV/ATV trail back to the RV.  It was hard work!  But it was a gorgeous morning and it felt great to be out and about.

This is a designated park for off-road driving.  There is a training center for children here as well.  We could hear people out on their buggies at 1am.  It was so beautiful and the moon was illuminating everything.  It must have been very cool to ride in the desert last night!

We traveled the short distance to Borrego Springs. 

We knew there was a farmers market on Friday morning and we wanted to do some shopping.  We got fresh strawberries and asparagus and oranges and the tiniest sweetest yellow cherry tomatoes…like candy!  We also got falafel and hummus and avocado feta dip and tamales.  I love a good outdoor market and I love to shop for good quality fruits and vegetables.

We went to the Chamber of Commerce and got maps of the area.

We checked into the RV park and got the washer started. 

Then, we took a bike ride.  The way from our campground into town is all downhill…almost no pedaling required.  The way back was way harder.  It is a 2-mile gradual climb…but I made it without getting off my bike.  Progress is being made!

I went back to town with the Jeep to get some wine and a couple of groceries.  We are camping out again tomorrow night and we needed a few things.

This evening we had roasted corn, chicken, and cheese tamales from the tamale lady.  They were tasty!

Don’t look for Saturday’s blog until Sunday.  We plan to tent camp in Sheep Canyon tomorrow night.  We saw this place two years ago and wanted a way to find a way to stay there…now we can!
