We drove by the Salton Sea. Years ago when the Colorado River Aqueduct broke it flooded the dry lake bed of Salton sea. It because a resort area for the rich and famous from LA. The resorts died out and is now a housing community. Retro Salton Sea sign, the sea itself and a date palm orchard in the area. We stopped for gas and where someone had cleaned off their windshield or grill was this big pile of dead butterflies. They have migrated up here in mass this year because of the flowers. Butterflies are all over. Including in the road. The bottom part of the photo is downtown Borrego Springs and a butterfly on it's way to smashing into the windshield.
John saw this truck and RV wash in Indio on the way down. But it had a big line, today there was no line so we stopped for a RV and car wash. 4 guys with soapy brushes washed them, then rinsed them. Then we went to the lovely free BLM dispersed camping spot right outside of Joshua tree again and parked in a field of flowers.
Me in my lawn chair in the flowers. Me dancing for joy in the flowers.
Canterbury bells in a flowerful wash. I asked John to dance in the flowers and this is what I got.
Poppies, blazing stars, chia and lupines. The view from the bus.
Another field of flowers. We had dinner in the wildflower field and watched sunset tonight.
The GPS took us to Mecca, California. The road is washed out from Mecca to Joshua tree, so we had to go around. Blazing stars and lupine. Joshua Tree blooms and a 5 spot.
A huge sports mobile. It has kayaks, bikes, rocket boxes a Subaru and a penthouse. We drove north through Joshua Tree, the view was flowers at the south end.
