Arroyo Salado, March 2010




After our fall trip last year together, we reunited with our German friends with a camping trip to Arroyo Salado
on March 2nd, 2010. Dana, Cathie, Hans, Silke, Gary and I enjoyed some jeeping, hiking, sharing stories, and eating. We went into Borrego one day, so our German friends could experience dining in a Mexican restaurant with margaritas.
Dana led us on some of the desert trails in the area.






















Our first drive was to 17 Palms. Dana and Silke

On our way back to the jeep, I decided to take a fall
and twist my ankle--ouch. Yes, it was swollen and
all black and blue. Gary is still trying to talk me into
wearing hiking boats!

Dana led us on a short walk to see the petrified wood.














Everyone checking out the "drop off".



We have to say goodbye to our friends, Hans and Silke. They are continuing their trip across the states the next several weeks and will be shipping their motorhome back to Germany. Gary and I hope to see them again when we go visit them in Germany! We had lots of fun telling our stories around the campfire.
