Shabbos at Ogilby was hot but nice.  In the morning, Jonathan and Canyon flew the area for quite some time.  I went for a walk and met two fulltime families with young kids, Justin and Anne of tinywheel.house and Willi and Julia of RememberToExplore.com.  Towards evening, Jonathan and Canyon drove back to Glamis to fly over the roughly 150,000 visitors at Glamis this weekend, one of the two busiest weekends at Glamis.

Winds were too strong to fly today, so in addition to homeschool we did other things than needed doing.  Towards afternoon the light falls dramatically on the Cargo Muchacho Mountains:

Trish photographed more of her crocheted creations:

The kids tried out the bubble wands Trish picked up at the last Walmart:

The sunsets here always impress:

M did some fancy biking:

Our first day back at the Salton Sea was too windy to fly, so we settled for homeschool:

Hopefully tomorrow will bring better weather.

With the PPG fly-in coming up later this week and a wind storm with 85MPH gusts moving in this evening, we decided to return to our dispersed camping location at the Salton Sea.  We first drove out to Font’s Point, which I flew over on Day 904.  Better photographs were captured when we last visited here on Day 183 and Day 190, since the visits were in the afternoon near sunset, but we decided to take some photos today anyway:

The badlands cover a vast area between here and the Salton Sea:

After going into Borrego Springs to return our library books, we hitched up and drove east to Salton City, where we dumped and filled up our water before arriving at our camping location.  Trish crocheted more booties today:

Thanks to the storm, which will reach here albeit with gusts only reaching 50MPH, we were treated to this rainbow:

We arrived last night after dark to camp in this location.  This is our third winter in the Borrego Springs area.  Our winter of 2014 visit began on Day 175, and our winter of 2015 visit began on Day 525. Please take a look at our last two visits for all of the amazing things to see and do in this area.

The last two winters we drove down this dirt road to a nice isolated spot, but now this sign blocks the road:

Oh well:

We walked down to visit our former spot:

M patched his tire in preparation for a ride:

I had purchased these 45mm wide tires for the bike before the trip, but they were too wide for the frame.  I brought them along the last time we were in New York, and I made the tires more narrow by trimming off the outermost line of nubs.  It was tedious work:

After the trim, the tires fit into the frame:

The kids and I rode and pushed our bikes up the local hill.  Looking back:

We finally arrived at the location of the Bighorn Sheep intaglio we created last year on Day 533.  It seems to have held up pretty well:

Other folks have built intaglios here since our last visit:

We were treated to a great sunset:

Not much to report for today, we caught up on a bunch of little things that needed doing.

Good Shabbos from the Salton Sea!
