Palm Canyon RV Resort Borrego Springs, California Day 2

I began my day with a walk in the Anza-Borrego State Park. 

There was a nature walk through the desert where I saw lots of cottontails.

I walked the trail all the way to their campground and then headed back to the RV.  We packed up and headed out for another tent camping overnight. 

We stopped at Galleta Meadows.  Life-sized sculptures that seem very at home in this barren desert environment.  We saw tortoises, mammoths, a t-rex and the very famous serpent.

We traveled on 4WD trails through Coyote Canyon to Sheep Canyon.

We setup camp and we were just a little disappointed to realize that it was going to be noisy and crowded.  We stayed though. Our 4pm wine helped us to relax and enjoy.  We had an early fire and then ate our omelets as the sun set.  We met the couple that stayed next door.  It was nice to have conversation with other people. 

We watched the snow moon rise over the mountains.  At first, we could only see an eerie glow but then the moon revealed itself full and lovely. 

We had some very strong winds after midnight so that we can honestly say the tent has been wind-tested. 

Our neighbors yesterday gave us a trail book to look at.  We found this quote and we love it.  It says just what we have always thought.  There are people who think the desert is just a bunch of sand and rocks.  I think you might know which desert we see.  I wonder what your choice might be?
