Borrego Springs is located in the middle of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in Southern California's Colorado Desert. Our friends Dennis & Lynda Bostad have a home there and invited us to visit. We escaped Oregon's winter rain and enjoyed a delightful visit with Dennis & Lynda that included wonderful sunshine, warmth, and beautiful desert scenery.

This roadrunner posed nicely for the camera. While we did see a wild roadrunner darting about during our time in Borrego Springs, this guy is in a diorama in the Visitor Center.
