First Stop - Borrego Springs, CA

Hello everyone.

This is the first time I have done a blog.  It will really be a log of Jolene's and my travels anytime we leave Havasu.

This is how it started this morning (March 7, 2012).  First the coach wouldn't start, even the battery boost wouldn't help.  So I hooked up the battery charger and plugged the coach back in so we could charge the house batteries also.  After we got the coach started, I backed out and hooked the truck up and away we went.

First we headed for Parker and had breakfast.  I think it is called Crossroads.  Very good food.  Then we headed for Borrego Springs, Ca.  It was a nice ride until we got about 80 miles out of Indio.  We ran into a big wind and dust storm.  It lasted about 15 miles or so.  We finally made it to our turn off and headed for the Salton Sea.  After about 30 miles we headed for Borrego Springs.  The first 5 miles were very rough and the road was wavy.  So we traveled at about 20-25 miles an hour and then it got a little better.  We got to travel at normal speed.

We arrived at The Springs RV Resort at Borrego.  It has a 9 hole golf course attached.  We are going to play it tomorrow.  We then took a ride into town and found the State Park at the west end of town.  We are going back tomorrow and take a hike to the Palm Canyon. We were told about some metal art that was all around town.  We went and found some and took some pictures and did a little geocashing.  After that we signed up for a nine hole game of golf.  It is called Nine and Wine.  So I guess I will have a little wine tomorrow.  Not much of a wine drinker but you never know what you might like. Any how we have settled in for the night.  Had dinner on board and now just relaxing.  That is all for now.  Will up date more tomorrow.
