MAD-DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN!

Okay so we had a couple of ‘laptop-free-days’ hence the days of no blogs!  Took a long trip out in the big Volvo to a desert park outside of San Diego.  Had intended to camp again but got there a bit late on Tues so hotel’d it in a place called Julian(!)…talk about your Scooby-Doo gold mining town!!  2 hotels, tattooist, cider mill (NON aloco!) and NO BAR!!  Didnt stay there for long!  Headed to Anza-Borrego park where at midday yesterday it was 107 C!! — only the Brits, eh?!  It was far too hot to camp as there was literally no shade, so we walked a couple of miles through a ’slot canyon’ then went in search of some illusive caves: couldnt find em tho!!
