Our last trip there was a resource mission, terribly short and left us longing to return someday to spend some quality time. We finally got it! Glacier is one of those BIG PARKS with towering mountains, amazing […]

Winter Trip South
Snow Geese – Sacramento Wildlife Refuge
This is a repost of our trip to Southern California to visit family and friends over the holidays. I guess the previous post has been forever lost in cyberspace, or accidentally deleted? I admit it could be operator error.
Wed planned on at least three weeks for the road trip and our timing was perfect. The weather was ideal both in San Diego and Anza Borrego. Even our quick stop at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge was warm and sunny.
Once in San Diego we took several side trips to Anza Borrego State Park for a little camping and hiking, our way to relax and rejuvenate from the fast pace of the city. Anza Borrego is Californias largest state park encompassing more than 600,000 acres and home to 50 or more species of flora and fauna including the parks namesake the Bighorn Sheep (Borrego is Spanish for sheep).
