We had never heard of this recreation area. We wanted to head over to Borrego Springs, southwest of Palm Springs. A fellow told us about Borrego and he had mentioned the word "boondockers" to us, but we didn't know what it meant.....
We turned West onto S22 - imagine our surprise when we came over a little hill and saw......this!!
Literally, hundreds and hundreds of RV's out in the desert in the middle of....well...nowhere.
And....more and more RV's. Quite a few of them had flags flying....maybe as a way to show their friends where they were camped?? One RV flew a flag of a cold frosted beer stein!
This is Boondocking....simply setting up your self contained camp out in the desert. People had large RV's, small RV's, even tents and tent trailers set up.
And here's why most, if not all of them, are there! Miles and miles of trails....people were riding quads, motorcycles and trucks all over these trails....
Check out the vista! It was incredible! The Eman and JP would have LOVED to come here....
The Gman and da Wolf, standing at the top in the wind....it was so amazing, we decided to take a break from driving, set up the lawn chairs and just watch all these folks having so much fun!
Can you see all the RV's in the distance?
A pretty steep hill the truck was going up and over...
This truck was stuck high centred for quite awhile, but eventually did make it up and over....
These guys also were stuck on the crest of the hill for awhile, but they managed to get out as well....
There was a Jeep that we watched get high centred, and he never did get it out, at least not while we were there!
If you ever have the chance, this place is a must see! Especially if you are travelling with a quad or Jeep behind your RV....so much fun!
Oh wow! It reminds me of the camps that are used at times for mining and metal detecting! Of course, I would know more about that then four-wheeling! lol
