January 29 Saturday 2011 Indio

Hudson and Dina arrive and we pick up Bernice and we drive to Anza Borrego. 65 miles from Indio. First we stop and view the Badlands- what water can do. The visitors center next then to the Gloretta Meadows with the metal sculptures awesome. We stop at the gloretta for a picnic lunch before going to Blair Valley. Here the ruins of the South family home can be seen . I have been there before and decide the steep trail to the top is too hot to do today so we move on the dirt roar and hike into the Morteros- here we find grinding holes of the natives who ground beans in the morter holes. It is getting too late to hike to see the Pictographs so we head to Julian and back to Indio on hwy. 74. Tonight the park has Rod Erickson from Alberta Canada to sing and Yodel . A very good show $5 each well worth it. I forgot to get my new WIFI card so will not be on line until tomorrow as office is closed now

REMEMBER-The right angle to approach a difficult problem is the 'try-angle'
