Hi all, we have moved from the desert and on to the Fountain of Youth RV Park in Niland CA looking for the restorative waters. Hey anything to smooth out the wrinkles.

Our time at the Imperial dam was interesting. We had a small earthquake, a first for me! On one of our hikes we had the company of Gray wolf. One of God's beautiful creatures.

We were invited to a "dog burn" a weenie roast in our non Boondocker language. Met the usual very nice RV folks.

A little rain gave us a beautiful rainbow and our first desert flower.

The high (low) light of our stay in the desert was our 4 wheel ride into the wilds of the desert. We had seen a group, including a Jeep Liberty, returning from a ride so we figured how hard could it be. We joined them for their next ride. WOW we got into the ride of our lives. A real white knuckle ride. We made it with two flat tires and met a group of great folks. When we had the tire problem the guys jumped in and helped me change the tires. For sure it is a once in a life time experience!

Monday we will move on to Anza Borrego State Park for a two week stay. We hope Leslea will be able to join us for some hiking.

We had some great quality time with Nicky in Suprise. We are now boondocking at the BLM site at the Imperial dam in CA. Yesterday we went to the Farm Smart program put on by UCA Davis in El Centro. Had a chance to pick lots of FRESH veggies. Thursday we will go to the flea market in Yuma. They always have lots of RV stuff we never knew we needed.
