Day 11
Today was mostly road driving, we left our little hideout in the desert and entered the bizarre world of the salton sea and Palm Springs area.
While researching for this trip I often wondered why there wasn’t much going on around the salton sea. It didn’t take long after arriving to figure it out and we left shortly after!
Then we headed up into the mountains just outside of the Palm Springs area for an epic mtb ride. I dropped Lauren off and drove back down to pick her up.
It’s some incredible terrain out here, not much of a bike community, but this trail was a little gem. By the time she got done, it was pretty late into the evening. We needed to run some errands before taking off into the desert again, so we decided to camp in the NF nearby (right by the top of this trail) and then I could ride it the following day and we could do our chores.
So we drove back up, to about 3300’ and the temps quickly dropped down to near freezing.
It turned out to be a really nice camp spot, we’ve just been getting some cold weather.
