Milestone: We have been on the road for 4 months!Borrego Springs is located in the center of the Anza-Borrego State Park. One of the most popular hikes is Palm Canyon. The hike takes you to the 3rd largest native palm grove in the state of California. We were fortunate to be able to experience this hike and special palm oasis. This palm grove had a devastating fire and the palm canopy was destroyed all that remained were tall black charred sticks. Due to the fire the hike had been closed until last month when miraculously the palm canopy grew back…

Milestone 11/22/20: 3 Months on our journey!When we left the Sedona area we were a bit down, because we loved being there so much, but then we hated leaving most everywhere we have been! At Lost Dutchman we loved the campground/campsite (#27)! The campsites are spread out so you are not looking onto another site and most sites have a clear view of the Superstition Mountains. At our specific site we had a clear shot of the mountains and had cocktails every night to watch the spectacular changes during the sunset. We also were dazzled by the wildlife! We were…
