A CAMPGROUND SUNDAY

Today we rested. And watched all (or most) of the other campers pack up their gear and drive off - after the quiet weekdays, on Friday and Saturday the campground filled up with the sounds of happy kids, the sight of people brushing their teeth in public, and the smell of campfire smoke. And then they all left, in a puff, this morning. We made the .6 mile hike to the Visitor's Center to ask about some of the nearby campgrounds and trails. It turns out that very few hiking trails are accessible to 2-wheel drive vehicles right now, so we may just move on. We might spend a day or two doing some dispersed camping just outside of the town of Borrego Springs, in the nearby Badlands area (we did a little scoping out of the area today). It's quite hot today, so we're just sitting back, enjoying the breezes, the silence, and the mountains.
