| Looked up and saw this cloud. Loved how the sun's light lite it up. |
 |
| Looking to the west that white dot is the moon setting. |
Not sure what mountains we are looking at but it is all beautiful.
We are know on the Coyote Canyon Road.
The Desert Garden is a nice place to stop and enjoy the surrounding beauty.
There was no sign naming this wash but it was flowing pretty fast and Tom said the water was cold.

| The Anza Expedition of 1775-1776 |
 |
| Not to far after this sign we turned around and headed back. We came to a spot where we would have had to ride up the wash to continue. We could see vehicles on the other side but decided not to do it. Now we realize, having read the brochure more fully, we should have parked, gotten out, and walked up the hill. Since, that is probably were the palm grove is. Something to do next time we come this way. |
 |
| There are a lot of ocotillos in this area. I took the one on the bottom right on our way out. It was the first time we had ever seen a sign in the desert telling us the way out. |
 |
| My favorite ocotillo of the day. |
