We left Phoenix after a few days and headed for Borrego Springs, CA. Did some back roading and drove 50 miles to Julian one morning for breakfast. (yes is was good, we had been there before).

We had to go to Wal*Mart to get M a wrist brace. It has helped her a lot.

After it started getting warmer, we decided to head to Lancaster, CA, to see the Poppy Fields in bloom. Stayed there a few days and then came over to San Simeon, CA, on the coast to wait for the poppies to be in their full splendor. We have been here for a about a week, did a day trip up to Point Lobos state park, near Monetrey, one of our favorite spots.

Got to Phoenix yesterday. MH engine still missing after changing three Plug-coils.

Today after checking in on the market, went to Bartlett Lake searching for wild flowers. There were a few, just not what we were expecting.

Met Tim, (Margaret's son) as he was heading off to parts unknown, Anchorage, AK, to start a new job and a new adventure in his life.


Later made a trip to Harbor Freight! They have a lot of things I have needed in the past, but just not today. It is the kind of place you need to live close to in order to run out and get something you need now!
