We spent an overnight near this wildlife refuge. The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is located in southern New Mexico. It was founded in 1939 and is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is a favorite spot to watch the migration of the Sandhill Cranes in the fall.

Up to this point we had only seen Javelinas in captivity...so this was amazing to see…

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.
