Feb. 19 – A Short Respite
It’s been HOT! It isn’t even cooling much at night and the refrigerator can’t keep up so we have to find a new campsite! We headed away from the Tumco area of the Cargo Muchacho mountains and turned the camper towards the palm oasis near the Salton Sea. We’ve visited Dos Palmas Oasis many times over the years and it is always a welcoming, cool rest stop.
