We left Yuma the last week of February and headed west into southern California. We decided the Long Term Visitor Area (LTVA) near Holtville would be a good base of operations for our daughter's annual visit. We sure enjoyed her stay with us, as we always do. While she was here, we arranged to meet our son, who lives in California, for the day at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. We took a short walk, enjoying the desert in bloom and had a picnic lunch at the park in the center of Borrego Springs. What a treat for us to spend the day with 2 of our 'kids'.Just outside Borrego Springs we saw some large, unusual animal sculptures scattered in the fields. It turns out this is a privately owned desert estate which allows, picnicing, horseback riding, photography, bicycling, and camping for 3 days. A new adventure awaits around every bend in the road.
