January 19

Left Indio around noon, first we could not find WIFI; had to by access at a Truck Stop for an hour than for another hour to take care of all the e-mails and the blog. Still raining like there is no tomorrow; drove down south on flooded hwy S22 to see friends whom we haven’t seen for about 7 years. They spend January in Borrego Springs then move on to Arizona for the rest of the winter. After a coffee and a few hrs we headed to Brawley but at a couple of spots the road was completely flooded and covered with mud. Had to wait almost an hour ‘till the hwy maintenance truck showed up and cleared the road. We made it to Brawley late evening and called it the day.

Visited Gerry and Donna Walker in Borrego Springs
