Road Trip -


Well, Patrick didn't want to clean house last Saturday per my intentions. I was sick with a bad cold but that didn't stop me from jumping in the car with him and Ciara and cameras in tow. Our goal was Anza Borrego desert to see the wild flowers blooming after this rainy season.

But we got a little lost and ended up in El Centro at our favorite haunt, "Salvation Mountain" - see previous blog here. Ciara had never been, so that was a treat for her. Upon our arrival Leonard Knight - who built and painted the mountain - was sleeping - he is a lot more frail and hard-of-hearing than my last seeing him a couple years ago. There were at least another 20 or so other visitors wandering around. We were lucky that right when we were about to leave he did wake up and gave a tour and a prayer. Such a happy, lovely man. A real treat!
