Filling up the neighbourhood......

Our Location:  Near Borrego Springs, CA


We took a drive into Borrego Springs and around the area finding a few more sculptures which I’ll show another day. We stopped and I picked an orange from a tree, (we couldn’t find any fruit stands open to buy some so I picked just one) it is the freshest orange I’ve ever had. From there we headed on to Rockhouse Road for another look around. Very busy there now, they are lined up slide to slide to slide to slide. Nose to butt to nose. Many with a trailer behind and a toy obviously missing. I do believe by the looks of the empty trailers they all held BIG toys, possibly jeeps, Razors or big dune buggies.

 

The dirt bike contingent was well represented today.

 

Back home we once again watched the fun out the window. I am telling you folks they just kept coming and coming and coming and coming. For my friend Lorne (A place called away ) you could learn from a few of these folks, for they did in fact ‘CIRCLE THE WAGONS’. Started out as one lone tow behind yesterday and soon a rig with a tow behind, then a motor home and so on until they have a complete circle with about 8 rigs in it. They just kept going round and round until they all fit. It was an interesting sight to see. We dubbed them ‘Circle the Wagons’ while the other big area we dubbed Flag City. They too have a huge circle of rigs. Not quite as full but then again they have a bigger area to fill. 

 

For Lorne. They started off with the single tow behind yesterday and this morning they started coming and coming and coming and finally the middle picture was still not the complete circle but they filled it in about a half hour later. We called them "Circle the Wagons" in your honour. The bottom picture is Flag City, they too have a huge circle with almost every rig having at least one flag, many having 2 and one having 4. I counted 13 at last count.

 

You wouldn’t believe how many pine or spruce trees they brought. I suppose it’s their Christmas trees and they are using them for fire wood. One guy either owned a lot where they didn’t sell, or collected his neighbours trees too. He must have brought a half dozen. I can tell you the place has filled up with people parking everywhere. As I type this it is 6:00 PM and the fire works are starting. I think it could be a noisy night. 

 

This one went round and round and round and round. Caught some air, had good form over the rolling bumps. I enjoyed watching.

 

Looks like twins on the top right, identical in every way. One family, the bottom 3 pictures and the middle left picture brought 5 quads for 4 people. The toy hauler 4 of them came out of is in the middle bottom picture. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. 

 

So a few pictures to help you enjoy what we witnessed today. I hope you like the sights. 

 

It was follow the leader with the little fella on the red 3 wheeler leading the way. 

 

They came from early this morning....as you can see in the 2nd from the top right and 3rd from the top left, they came in lines, 2, 3, 4 , 5 in a line. The bottom left picture has two or three small dirt bikes tucked up around the nose and butt of the jeep.

They came all morning and into the afternoon. Cars, trucks, jeeps, towing, carrying, hauling, but no one was pushing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where there is a will, there is a way. If you can't fit it in, stand it on end. That is a toy hauler he's hauling and it was full too.

A quick note for myself, Jason and Leah were to cross back into Canada today after spending the night at Great Falls, Montana.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the visit. 

Until next time... take care, be safe,
