Movin' On

We left Santee (a.k.a. San Diego area) yesterday afternoon after a lazy morning and a few errands like banking and replacing my broken sunglasses - must be pair number 25 - and broken headphones for my iPod - first of 25? - ...  For this trip, i'm technologically ready!  iPod.  Nook eReader.  Laptop.  And, I'm enjoying them.  However, camping without hookups, like we are here in Borrego Springs State Park near Borrego Springs, CA creates a problem when the batteries die. 

At the moment, we are sitting in the Borrego Springs Library where Duffy is working - yes, working - on the laptop and I'm using a library PC to type this blog.  And, can you believe it, we're here in the afternoon to escape the growing afternoon heat outside?  It must be in the low 80s out there!  No complaints - sunshine and warmth are what we came south for.

We are missing the company of Skip & Susan, and Sport, of course.  We will see them again in Laughlin, NV on Sunday evening.

This is a layover to allow us to rest up before the next leg of the journey.  Plus, there are birds to see in Borrego Springs, and a few plants beginning to flower.  In coming days, I will catch up on bird sightings for those of you who are interested.  For now, I'll just say we've seen Mockingbirds, which were conspicuously absent in San Diego, Lesser Goldfinch, Verdin, House Finch, and Costas Hummingbird, a beautiful little bird with a rich purple gorget (like a collar).

That's all for now.  We hope spring is springing, budding, etc. where you are.

Until next time,
Pam (& Duffy)
