People in Anza-Borrego

Here are the last of the pictures from Anza-Borrego.  I wasn't there by myself as the other would imply.

The first is of our return to the car after hiking in the Palo Verde wash.  We were on the lookout for the trail that would take us to an abandoned mine and found it shortly after this picture was taken.  In case you are wondering, that is an ocotillo cactus by Meg.

Sure, the Stallard family likes to hike and explore when on vacation.  However, there is also a lot of down time reading and relaxing in the sun.  This relaxing doesn't take place only near the pool.  Here are Jenny, Tom, and Meg enjoying the shade while Dave, Tim, and Bob explored further up a slot canyon.
Ever want to know how big a Joshua Tree is?  Find Jenny (not too hard) and do your estimates.  When we were in Joshua Tree National Park, we were looking for the biggest Joshua tree that Dave had ever seen - he had shown us the picture earlier.  We thought that this might be it, but alas it was not.  Still, it's pretty big.
On our last day, we went on a hike to another slot canyon.  It got tight in a couple of places.    Here are some other shots and more explanations of how tight the canyons were.

So that's it for Anza-Borrego.  I will get some other shots up soon.  Spring is here - technically - and summer is coming soon.  I'll have more time and better weather to go out in the future.
