Borrego Blooms


Not our Hidden Site but a great one none the less

In all the years we have been down in the Palm Springs area we have never been to Borrego Springs during the March “bloom”. And, the bloom doesn’t occur in years with little rain.
So I guess we’ve been down in pretty dry years, or been away, like in Jan. Feb. 2017 when they did get a good rainfall. Well this year is the most since 1943.
We decided since we had the camper on the truck and hadn’t cycled in a week that we should get out there, do some camping in our hidden gem of a 4WD location, ride our bikes (we did 24 kms the 1 day)
Borrego has miles of Sculptures
and followed up with 30 kms the next in Yuma.

Here are the sites we saw.

Sandra outstanding in her field, err, canyon
Mornings we'd check out the view down the driveway.
Unique formations in the canyon
Friendly ones as well

This desert is supposed to be sand colored not green!
Honey I think this is Scotland!

Very rare desert Lilly found only at Arroyo Salada

AMAZING!
