There was enough wind this morning that we decided not to do the local hike we had planned, Instead Bill suggested we go for a drive to Anza Borrego State Park where he heard there would be desert blooms starting to appear - a nice way to celebrate Valentine's Day.
The wind increased dramatically as we drove the 90 miles or so and occasionally it reminded us of driving through a snow storm. As we travelled through the desert, waves of sand would blow across the road leaving us temporarily blinded. The blizzard of sand reminded us of driving through Crossfield Alberta with blowing snow enveloping us.
But even though getting out for pictures meant hanging onto the car door to keep it from ripping off (not quite) we saw incredible country and in moments of calm managed to check out the most beautiful desert flowers.
