After hitting some Arizona spots in search of flowers, I wanted to head for the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park for a few days to look around. Base camp for the first two nights was a duplex unit at Hacienda del Sol right in the center of Borrego Springs. Easy walking to the restaurants I like there, and right next to the grocery store.

I like Borrego Springs, it is small and fairly remote with friendly people. It is pricey for sure, but if you don't want to spend a lot of money there are other options. Stopped at Carmelita's, where it is fun to sit at the bar and shoot the breeze with the locals. One of them remembered me from my visit last year. I'll keep on liking the town as long as they don't put in a stop light. :lol:

Drove the truck over this trip since there were some things I wanted to see that require four wheel drive. Lots of places to get stuck in sand in this part of the world. Wednesday I stopped by the outstanding wildflower display on Henderson Canyon Road (which the caterpillars were voraciously devouring

) before heading up into Coyote Canyon.
