Goodbye Pegleg
©Bert Gildart: My how the time flies! Several days ago we spent one of our last nights at Pegleg trying to create a campfire scene with Lou and Larry Woodruff, another Airstream couple with whom we’ve shared fun times. We wanted an image that would highlight all the time we’ve spent in and around Pegleg.
One of our last setting at Pegleg
The image is one of the last taken this year at Pegleg, for we’ve now moved to a commercial campground. We’ll be staying at “Springs At Borrego” long enough to thoroughly wash our truck and clean the camper after almost four months of boondocking. On Tuesday we’ll be leaving Anza Borrego heading to an Airstream rally near Apache Junction, Arizona.
It has been a good winter and I’ve accomplished my major goal, which was to complete another book manuscript for Globe Pequot, and do so in a warm climate where at day’s end we could step out the door and hike to our heart’s content. An extreme example is my climb up Coyote Peak.
Just by stepping our our backdoor we've been able to hike and climb to our heart's content, such as climbs up Coyote Mountain.
But we also wanted to maintain contact with friends we’ve made here in this sprawling California park. Many have come from distant areas, and because so many things can happen in the course of a year, we’re not sure just who will make it back. But we’re hoping the power of campfire settings, the beauty of the night skies, the exhilarating card games and the charm of the desert will lure them all back.
It’s been a good winter and we leave with regret.
