I
made it to California!!! I've tried for several years to camp here
and have always not quite made it. I'm here!!! I have a new state sticker
on my Camping Map!!
I
started off my California adventure in Borrego Springs, a small town
in southwestern California. Incidently, Borrego means sheep. One of Borrego Springs'
claims to fame is that it has been designated as a Dark-Sky Community.
The stars here are incredible. I tried to take pictures, but
evidently phone cameras are not quite up to the task or maybe it is
me. Borrego has a really mellow retro vibe, it seems sort of stuck
in the sixties. I'm digging it, man. It is perched on the north side
of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, which is the largest
California state park, area-wise. I was planning on doing a bunch of
hiking in the Park, but it was extremely hot. I guess I might be called a
weather wimp. There is lots of good stuff here, but I'm mainly here to see
Galleta Meadows Estate. Sculptor Ricardo Breceda has made more than
100 metal statues of animals randomly (or so it seems) scattered around the desert.

| What's that I spy in the desert? |
 |
| Oh, I see |
 |
| This is the one that everybody takes a picture of. It is huge and continues on across the road. |
 |
| I'm particularly fond of this one. It's placement is perfect |
 |
| Ok, this one called to me also |
 |
| This is the road that I walked Miko down every night. |
