desert KEN

all I wanted for my birthday was for Ken to join me in a desert adventure

1st stop was Holtville Hot Springs just after dawn

it was cleaning day, so the tubs were slowly filling, so I stayed in the shower

Ken took to the big tub as it slowly filled

this is where I normally would be

soaked at FIVE PALMS where Ken had time to jump into a good book

more time to read in the shade before frisbee practice

Ken preps the fire pit for later

Ken's frisbee skills are solid

took a hike out to a low hill towards the bombing rage to capture the sunset

sparked the fire

the full moon came out

Ken slept in the rough - on the sand - no tent

the coyotes were yipping when we retired for the evening and I was certain that Ken would wake up with a coyote licking his face........ but no... no midnight wildlife incidents

soaked at Holtville before dawn - at dawn we were headed to Salvation

Ken had never heard of Salvation Mountain

interacted with the two Salvation cats most of the morning

they are quite friendly

Ken takes in the scope of the place

inside the museum

took a walk up the yellow brick road

then over to SLAB CITY for a quick.....

skate.....

then we drove back the 78 through the Anza Borrego desert park and Julian and wound up at POKEZ

hell of a quick trip.
