Our Amazing Weekend in Anza Borrego

 So we were up and getting ready to go Friday morning.  We didn't hurry too much as we had all the time in the world.  I made a reservation for Palm Canyon Resort and RV.  We drove via Romana, then to Julian.  We had a sandwich at the park with chips and soda, at the park just before the main street into town.  THEN IT WAS TO COYOTE CREEK

Man, that dog.  Gracie just wanted to get rocks, ROCKS, and MORE ROCKS.  We stayed until she was shivering hard, then checked into the hotel, Palm Canyon Hotel & RV Resort.  We should have stayed at the other place, like the Oasis Inn.  The pool was not heated, and there is no daily service, they will come and take out your trash, IF YOU ASK, and give you more coffee and towels.

We went for a dip in the 64 degree pool and the jaccuzi was not that warm.  We had dinner at Carmelita's Mexican and KR  had an EXTRA margarita after downing a beer, free from the hotel.

We had ZOOM with Michael Gooch and company

Saturday we went to the visitor center and had a short walk.  We had machaca for breakfast.  We tried driving to THE SLOT, but the line for the entrance was too long so we went back to Coyote Creek and Gracie had a great swim/rockfest.  We drove out to Sheep Canyon and to Lower or Middle Willow, and it was nice about 80 degrees.  We then went to Font's Point where we had never seen before.  It was beautiful seeing the landscaping.  We came home and sat outside a bit before we went to Center Market for turkey sandwich and more drink for KR.

Sunday we drove out to the SLOT by 7 30 and did a great hike.  No one was there, and we didn't have to pay.  By the time we were done, there were cars coming in by the boatload.  We drove to the ebnd of the SLOT and down a steep VERY SANDY short drive, and KR could not get the car back up, so we drove about 20 miles out of the way towards Ocotillo Wells to get out.  FINALLY.   We had another torta for breakfast and drove to see Mom B and Aunt Ethel.  They had cooked a lasagna and we had lunch and two great games of Hand and Foot   I teamed with Aunt Ethel and WE LOST BOTH GAMES.  We drove home and Kurt was barely getting the house cleaned.

We unpacked and had some dinner and went to bed.  What a great weekend.
