History is all well and good, but we're here for the pie. We can't be at Borrego Springs long before the siren-song of Julian and its apple pies draws us in. This morning we got an early start, and after a lovely chat with some fellow Chinook pilots (who blog at Chinookers Journey
http://chinookers.blogspot.com/), we headed up over Yaqui Pass to Pie Paradise. We bought an Apple Pie, an Apple-Peach Pie, some apple nut bread, some multi-grain asiago crostini, and a couple of slices of Apple-Caramel Pie with 2 cups of coffee. Ate the slices, drank the coffee, and headed back to find very windy conditions (again!) and our box of recyclables and its contents "strewn about the place"! Exercise for the day was collecting all the widespread cans and plastic bottles; lesson for the day was "secure all the stuff before leaving your site"!
Yeh, it's hard to beat Julian apple pie! Simply the best!
ReplyDeleteIt was great talking with you this morning. We've moved on to DHS and its really windy here too - bet it's a blast at Rockhouse Canyon! I remember being there a couple of years ago with 60 mph gusts - some serious rock 'n' roll for the rig!
Love your exterior windshield cover - did you have it custom made? What a great idea! How is it held in place?
Hope to meet up with you guys again some day.
We're ambling back to OC for a couple of weeks via Lake Perris before heading out again. Next trip might be up the coast, or perhaps to UT.
Happy travels.
Andrew, Jane, and furry friends Joanie & Dexter
It was fun talking to you, too!
DeleteRe: the windshield cover, Darell bought it online (he is still searching for the source, can't seem to remember exactly where he got it! - but we'll let you know). It works great for privacy and heat reflection, and has roll-ups with mesh underneath so that you (or your pets!) can see out, even when the cover is in place. You can also roll down your windows for air circulation when the roll-up flaps are, well, rolled up. It has fabric bits that hook over the driver's and passenger's door, and then is held at the bottom with magnets. The only trouble is in super high winds (maybe 40 mph?), we've had the magnets let loose and the whole thing starts a-flappin' to where we end up having to take it down. For most applications though, it works great.
Have fun In DHS, and I hope our paths do cross again!
Happy Trails,
Andi and Darell
