The weather was getting warmer each day so I decided to get to a higher elevation. I needed to do laundry, fill up on water, and pick up some groceries, so it seemed like a good time to move. I\u2019m now at a campground north of Borrego Springs called Culp Valley, surrounded by hills and huge boulders, and boasting an altitude 1000 feet higher than Blair Valley. I\u2019d driven by here a couple of times on my motorcycle but never stopped in to have a look. It is a nice campground with quite a few secluded sites and a restroom for convenience. I will probably be here for a few days before I move on to the San Bernardino National forest.<\/p>\n

The winds have picked up to hurricane force. Well, maybe not quite that strong, but a good gale force wind I\u2019m sure. Last night the van rocked and bounced as I lay awake listening to things blow around outside. I finally got up and went outside to find my motorcycle had blown over and the TV antenna was twisted off. I moved everything to the lee side of the van and fought my way through sideways blowing sand and rain to get back inside; it was hard to even open the door against the force of the wind. Needless to say, I didn\u2019t get much sleep last night, and as soon as the wind lets up, I should go look for my gas can and a couple of other missing objects.<\/p>\n

I have no cell service here but I can pick up a lot of TV stations (as soon as I fix the broken antenna.) It has been quite a while since I\u2019ve had any TV reception and I spent most of last night flipping through channels, trying to decide what to watch. I don\u2019t think I watched one program all the way through – probably not the most productive way to fill up on entertainment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
