Stowing......

 8:00 am - Wednesday - January 12th - Anza Borrego Desert, CA - 44° F, 34% humidity, wind - CALM......cloudy today with a forecast high of 73° F.  On this date in 2016 we left our first boondock encampment on Rock House Road with our friends Steven, Linda, Mike, Liz, and were dumping our tanks at the ARCO Travel Center in Ocotillo Wells......↴

Ironically, just as we were leaving the Anza Borrego Desert (above picture) on January 12, 2016, and are doing the same thing exactly 6 years to the day this year.  Since were departing our boondock site on Wednesday, January 12th, I spent the better part of Tuesday putting away our stuff, and organizing the trailer for VW insertion.  I stowed the anti gravity chairs, the bicycles, the portable firepit, camp chairs, the tool bags, and the solar lights.  With TLE's help we folded up the artificial turf which we will drag into the trailer Wednesday morning just prior to departure, and VW insertion.  On Wednesday morning I will stow the solar panels, and then we will be ready to roll our wheels once again after almost 2 months off the grid.

We burned the last of our sunset firewood Monday evening when we really had no sunset to speak of.....should have saved it for Tuesday evening when we did have a sunset.....


......by 5 pm we had done everything we needed to do in preparation for departure except stow the solar panels.  We spent the evening reading, and thinking about what is to come.  Wednesday we'll head up to the Parker Strip to spend three days visiting with friends and relatives, then into Arizona we go on Saturday to spend a month on Newell projects.
