Sophia had a geography conference in Borrego Springs Saturday. So we decided to go camping!
The camping reservation involved some confusion. The camphost thought we were at Tamarisk Grove. Nope. We wanted (and Sophia claims to have reserved) Borrego Palm Canyon. In the end, we found a site. #75 is good. Sophia really like #70 though.
Friday was really hot -- 99deg. This broke the record from 1934. And Saturday was partly cloudy but STILL hot. The 99 deg broke the 1972 record. The worst part was it got windy in the afternoon. Really windy. And did I mention hot?
There was a helicopter rescue in the canyon. A family of five needed to be rescued when the mother became dehydrated and couldn't walk out. Given the heat and the number of people who attempted the hike, it was to be expected. Be prepared folks!
Eric and I walked up the canyon in the morning before it got hot. He hadn't been there since the mud flood 3 years ago. It certainly has changed the landscape. After the 3+ mile hike, we went for ice cream.
Due to the winds getting even stronger after sunset, we only stayed one night. No need to suffer. We left around 6:45 and made it home by 9pm.
Poor Indy doesn't have any power going up hills. Expect to see a repair note soon.
