[Note the first time I ever saw Pinyon Squeeze here I was cautious and thought I'd never see it much again. Now it's the stuff of legends.]
Back to the desert again, with a storm system blowing in from the coast. Not much rain got to the desert, but the top of the local mountains got 2-3" of snow on my way there.
Camping in Hawk Canyon. Deserted. Wonderful ampitheatre to play the Bose XM radio into with nobody for miles around!
Lights lit up.
Not much side spread - I think I'll need to frost them to make them more like floodlights.
You can carry so much more car camping than backpacking.
Sunrise over Borrego from Butte's Pass.
Sunrise rainbow.
Interesting rock formations at a former native American site called the "morteros", named for the grinding bowls left in the rocks. (mortars)
Rock crawling on the way to the Pinyon Mountain trail.
A famous gateway to the Pinyon Mountain trail called "The Squeeze." An inch too narrow for the 'Voy, but I just had to drive her up to sniff around where the Jeepers even have to fold in their mirrors.
