| …some RVs are a little more rustic than others |
It’s early; 0630… and I was about to get up when the ship’s puppy flopped over, landing across my legs like an anchor. It’s kind of cool anyway so this seemed like a good time to share some pics and stories.
Each day is different here at Rio Bend. The past two days have been not only cool but also filled with wind (too windy to golf) and wind blown dust (in your eyes, up your nose…you know the kind). Yesterday was warmer and the skies were clear so the four of us headed off on an adventure. We wanted to show off Anzo Borrego Springs State Park. It’s one of our favourites in these parts and we’d heard the desert had recovered from a (not sure what you call a forest fire in the desert) let’s call it a palm fire. The fire had destroyed the lovely hike up to a palm tree oasis a couple years ago but reports were it was on the mend. We stopped at the Visitor Centre and then drove through the campsite to show our friends the serviced campsites and the dry campsites - which we think are quite wonderful. Each is fairly large and most have their own palapa but, as described, they do not have full services for RVs. I’m also rather smitten with a particular feature set up for the use of folks in the dry campsites. I’ll let you guess what that service might be. Here is the first clue.
Today’s adventure is a trip to the end of the runway. Yup, apparently you can get to the end of the runway used by the Blue Angels and, if they notice a small crowd they put on quite a show. We’re going to give it a try. They’ve been very busy roaring overhead in formation (too fast to photograph) at all hours of the day. And, without much warning, their roar will become thunderingly (not a word I think but it’s perfect for the description) loud and they’ll flash by overhead before disappearing into the ‘blue yonder’. Anyway, we’re going to take a drive and see what happens. Will report back later.
For now, I must pry this puppy off my ankles and get going. The doves are cooing outside the window and the sun has risen. It’s also time to move my garden into the warmth.
Oh yes, the answer to the question above. Voila!! The most comfortable seat in the desert…and with a clear view of the sky (no roof).
As for my misadventures re packing… I’ m still working on it.
Must go now. Hope each of you are well and have a great day. Without naming names (you know who you are)…. Stay strong…love you. CJ
