75 DEGREES, BLUE SKY, AND NO WIND, YESTERDAY

Yesterday we decided to have breakfast outside.  In the shade, it’s cool, but it’s really nice and pleasant in the sun.

Here’s a little more information about where we are.
The center of downtown is called the circle and it’s a very pleasant park with tables and benches and people passing through use it as a rest area.  We are on a dirt road behind a shopping mall.  It’s hard to see our motor home from the main street downtown.   There are trails though the desert and occasionally walkers pass by on their way to the trail over the mountain behind us.
Our closest neighbor is Jerome.  He is a retired 81 year old former law professor.  He lives full time in the small Ford van.  Part of the year near the Golden Gate Bridge in a marina parking lot and the rest of the year here in Borrego Springs.  His rig is about 200 yards away and we visit on a daily basis.IMG_6484

Today, it’s cool and cloudy with some wind.  It may even rain tonight.

Thanks for the location info. It appears to be superior to the Rockhouse Road location, and I would imagine there is way less wind where you are. Sounds like you are enjoying yourselves!
