May have ended at the bottom. Didn't think the winds would get that bad being butted up to the mountains. Great pictures of Fonts Point and Split Mountain.

Sometime you should drive out to the north end of Clark Dry Lake and see the numerous petroglyphs where the rocks first appear at the bottom of the mountain.Hiking Man 50https://www.blogger.com/profile/15873731878823571615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359689606970863941.post-33340106818321208132023-03-11T18:47:29.726-08:002023-03-11T18:47:29.726-08:00Hi Pam - bet the Nimble Hiker has enjoyed the Wind...Hi Pam - bet the Nimble Hiker has enjoyed the Wind Caves!

We're parked at the Legion against the Tamarisk as a wind break.

In the last couple years of our travels out there we had boondocked in the Legions parking lot several times. Those big winds must have torn things up around there pretty good. Had we been in Borrego Springs this winter we could very well have been there when that happened. I wonder how those big old Tamarisk trees made out.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.com
