Can't remember which way we went but I know we had a hard time finding them. Sure are a lot of great challenging Jeep roads out in that area. So much to see & do around Borrego Springs & I think that is one of the things that keep us coming back over & over.

There were a couple spots I was glad we had four wheel drive and a narrow wheelbase on this route, but 90% of it would be fine for the truck :-) Let's hope we both have a wind-free day!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-72227632698771154872015-12-25T08:27:14.783-08:002015-12-25T08:27:14.783-08:00:-))) Borrego definitely has very little green.

We missed the turn but decide we could just find another way! Well, we did but we were on some very hairy narrow, rocky, steep "roads."

We weren't happy about that because we can get those oranges anyplace. We love the fields in Arizona where they sell them right there.
