Wind Caves and Updates

The Wind Caves are in the Carrizo Badlands on the far east side of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.  To access this area you travel on Fish Creek Road, a sand/rock passage about 4 miles. Wind caves are sandstone formations with wind-eroded pockets!  There is a hike to the wind caves, one that is well hidden and it took a few hours to find it!  We had to fly the drone to understand how to get to the trail!  Needless to say, it was too late to start the hike but we saw the caves from the air and the…

Canyonlands, Boondocking and More

We have been off the grid for several days...no power, water or cell service (except occasionally when driving)!  We have been exploring Monument Valley, Needles area of Canyonlands National Park and Natural Bridge National Monument.  At our last campground, Needles Outpost, when we were checking in, Carol asked if there were any dangers with regards to animals...the owner said, “nay, there is a badger in one of the sites and scorpions but nothing to worry about”!  Well Carol’s head snapped around and I thought we were going to have to leave, but the owner put her mind at ease by…
