After spending the first night camping at Borrego Palm Canyon CG, I spent a large part of my free day by driving around, checking out some places I had been in previous visits. We were just coming out of a terribly dry fall, winter, and spring, so I knew things were going to be bone dry. But, that was part of why I visited. I wanted to see things in their stressed out worst condition, as opposed to my other visits when things were somewhat wet and green, with flowers gone wild! It was about as I expected. Of course, visiting in mid May means the serious heat of summer is about to be unleashed, so you won't be seeing much more than cacti and succulent in bloom anyway. The Agaves were the main attraction, with some Ocotillos in bloom as well.

Later in the day it was back to Borrego Springs, where I spent some time at Carlee's for dinner and beer, before heading over to a motel I had not stayed at before, to check in and spend night two in town.
