We had our annual Anza Borrego desert trip, and it was amazing. Although the above says today high was 70, yesterday was 75/59, but windy.
We left Monday after the cleaning ladies came to clean and Kurt went to work by 8 30. It was an easy drive although I had to stop several times to pee, as I had so much coffee. We went through Temecula area and stopped at Costco to get gas. We tried checking in but the lady said the rooms were not ready yet. It was about 1 30 and she said come back at 2 30
We went to the Stone House and decorated with the stuff we had brought. I asked KR to pack eye hooks and a strand of wire. We also brought cloth pins and pinned up stuff like extra sunglasses, chap sticks, a tampon, pair of earrings, and misc, plus a sign that says take some and leave some.
We stopped and admired the wild flowers on the side of the roads. There were plenty of flowers and people stopping too, but not too crowded that we were able to take pictures with just us.
We checked in. A great room, #149 that was ADA regulated, with a LARGE bathroom and shower chair and two queen beds. We got Mexican takeout at Los Jilbertos. I had tripe taco that was deep fried tripe, not too good. KR had a great chicken tostada. We went to the jacuzzi with Angel, so she won't tear up the room and then to bed.
We walked around Christmas Circle at night and then drove out to Hobard Street to look at the stars as it is really dark out there, just behind the Tennis Club. A homeowner came out with flash light and asked what we were doing. HAHAHAHAHA Another car stopped too to see if we needed help.
I also went for a run before dinner. The soft sand did not hurt my knees nor hip. I also ran 10:54 miles. WOW
Tuesday morning we had some coffee. We had brought our own coffee and coffee maker, and had some bananas, and drove up to Coyote Creek. On the way we stopped for some photos at the metal sculpture of the Scorpion Plus the Grasshopper. THE WHOLE CREEK AREA WAS LOCKED DOWN !!!! I guess the November Hurricane changed the path of the creek and now it runs down the main road so the whole place was locked. We parked and walked with Angel all the way pass the really rough road, and came back. It was really really windy, like sand blasting windy.
We came back and went back to the Stone House as I had forgotten to leave the recorder. I played some songs and we came back stopping at the Visitor center to find out what happened to the creek. The ranger said that they don't know when the creek would get diverted so that Sheep Canyon will be accessible. So maybe that whole section would only be day use, as there is no camping allowed now at Sheep canyon.
We laid out at the pool and it was really nice. KR went back to take a nap and I went for a run. It was a bit more pain for my hip but not the knees. We had tostadas again, and I only ate half of mine. We went to see more stars again, and drove by the h igh school and walked Angle again at Christmas Circle.
Today we were up really early so we can get to the SLOT before any cars. We arrived about 7 30, after having our coffee and there was one car there. We hiked the slot. And the rain had loosen a rock down and blocked a little bit of the path. It was really nice weather. Still some wind. We packed up to go home and drove through Julian. We got a pie and a sandwich and drove to Lake Henshaw and had our lunch and a walk down to the lake. Angel was looking for rats.
We got gas in Capistrano and came home by about 3 30
Kurt called in sick yesterday and today and said he is not working tomorrow either. That boi needs to get his act together. He parties too hard and then cannot work.
