A cactus to go. Thanks Michael! This cactus will turn pink/purple during the winter when it gets cold. It was a great weekend, and a beautiful drive to and from Borrego Springs, in San Diego County
A lot of luggage for just the weekend!
My favorite type of shower. No door or curtain, just wide open showering.
A bathroom with a view of the fruit tree on the private patio.
Off for a short ride before dark.
The Borrego Valley Inn. A wonderful get-away place in Borrego Springs. Click on "Map Photo". www.borregovalleyinn.com
Waiting for the sunset at the South Tufa Spires. The spires are made of calcium carbonate limestone. Elevation 6,392 feet.

Mono Lake is 1-3 million years old; among the oldest lakes in N. America. It contains chlorides, carbonates, and sulfates. It is alkaline, with a pH of 10, and almost three times as salty as the ocean
From San Luis Obispo to home, literally! Four days, 17 hours ride time, 9431 feet of climbing, five counties and 286 miles! And only 1 flat per 11 bikes.
Awesome ride everyone! What an adventure. Thanks Ira and Denise, wouldn't have been possible without you two. Thanks to everyone who treated for food and drink. We sure had fun!
