March Trip to California
3/14/2017 - Anza-Borrego & Palomar Observatory
Today was a southerly day for us!
We drove out towards Palm Springs, then headed south,
and then back to the west into the mountains.
1st stop • Anza-Borrego State Park
It was a somewhat pleasant day. We actually came to see the "spring bloom" but we were either too early or too late. There were some flowers doing their thing, but not like it was advertised. We did find this little camping area - Culp Valley Primitive Campground - which had some hiking trails that we used. One led us to a "spring" which turned out to be a pipe sticking out of the ground. They other led me to a vista point where I could see all the way back down into the valley.

2nd stop • Palomar Observatory
The road I selected to get us back to LA led us to a turn-off to Palomar Observatory. We chose to drive up to the top, and throughly enjoyed the observatory... AND the entire area. Heavily wooded mountains with windy roads! Just my type!
