Update from The Springs at Borrego

On Sunday, Mar 6, we had a weather forecast that called for possible thunderstorms, heavy rain and blowing sand.  Only the blowing sand materialized, along with a rainbow.

We continue to have a great time in the California Desert.  Yesterday, Monday, Mar 7th, we took a day trip to Indio, Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs.  We visited the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert, took the Tram ride to the top of Mount San Jacinto in Palm Springs and had a late lunch at Lulu's in Palm Springs, all well worthwhile.

Great Horned Owl  Reminds me of Dana after a nasty hook.

Golf at De Anza Desert Country Club and Borrego Springs Resort, both great courses but very different.  De Anza was a brutally hard park-like setting with super slippery greens and Borrego was a forgiving desert course with great views

Today, Friday, Mar 11, is a very special day for Vanessa.  She is getting a complete spa treatment including wash, wax and buff.  She is very excited!

We travel on Sunday to the coast with our first stop at South Carlsbad State Beach north of San Diego.
