Heading to Bolsa Chica

On Wednesday, we headed out from Quartzsite to Bolsa Chica state Beach which is near Huntington beach. The good news is we both like the beach, but going to the beach is something Carol really looks forward too! The bad news is, there is rain in the forecast! :-( That's ok, we'll make the most of it!

We pulled out of  Quartzsite, heading west about 10:00 mountain time. We stopped just before the California border go pick up the last of the Arizona (cheap) fuel! :-) while at the truck stop there was a failed attempt to capture a little Chihuahua dog that was dunning around loose. None who  tried to catch him could get him, could get him to come any where near them! It was very sad.


 
Our next stop was the General Patton Museum, which is about an hour and a half from Quartzsite. This is a great little stop where there are a bunch of tanks on display as well as a lot of other military memorabilia from world war I through current conflicts. Neither of us remembered how general Patton died, but we found out that it was from injuries sustained in a car accident, just four months after VE day.






After lunch and a tour through the museum, we headed off to Bolsa Chica state beach.going through LA traffic is never fun, but we survived it unscathed. After setting up camp, carol cooked a wonderful dinner Nd then we unwound doing a little light house keeping trying to mitigate some of the dust we collected in quartzsite.



Today, we will go check out the endeavor at the California science center.

Happy camping!
