Snow in the Desert!
After a week of camping in the Anza Borrego desert with 80 degree weather, we are finally cooling off with a little snow. The locals say they haven’t seen this much snow in 20 years. All of the surrounding mountains in the area are covered with a blanket of the white stuff. Hopefully the cold won’t affect the much anticipated wildflower blooming season that is supposed to start in the next couple of weeks. We’ve done a few short excursions in quest of sundowner locations including a mountain bike ride down Rockhouse Canyon and a hike up Alcoholic Pass. I have even gotten to take out the ass fan for a few short flights. Our next adventures include hiking up Indianhead and doing a backpack up to Villager Peak to watch the Lunar Eclipse next Wednesday night….as long as it doesn’t snow!
