Having woken up in our boon docking site nestled somewhere between the Picacho Mountain Wilderness and the Imperial Valley Sand Dunes, we used this day as a pretty relaxed “road day”.

Both Lucy and Rosie got a little off-leash exercise (keep in mind Lucy is at least 17 years old – and still runs like a puppy). We got to enjoy some of the mostly unseen desert flowers blooming this time of year (humming birds all over), and then settled in for a primitive (primitive being a relative term) campsite on the Salton Sea. For dinner, we got to enjoy a treat from our neighbors Kyle and Cherie – lobster tails on the barbie! And the sunset made the sea itself look like it was on fire. Pinch me.
