We Are Settled In

 So yesterday, we woke bright and early had a quick breakfast, got out on the I-8 and drove 45 minutes to destination, - Holtville Hot Springs.

We drove all the way to the rear of the area, meeting a couple of known faces on the way. The big open area we have been using several years in the past was absolutely empty. No neighbours - no noise - just peace and relaxation. I have to say it: We felt HOME.

And Dixie did so as well. It didn't take long and she had found her little hide-out behind a creosote bush. Her nest needed a little upgrade, so I could see her digging it a little deeper then settling into it. Dixie is just such a natural dog.

We were lucky arriving in camp at the early hour of 7:30am so we could settle in before it got too hot, for the temps reached above 31C {88F) later in the day.

The entire camp is still very empty. Only a handful of campers are here, though the coming weeks will bring more campers from the cold north.
