We stopped off at the Cactus Garden off of Harper Canyon and Kane Springs Road, south of Hwy 78, just as the sun was getting real low in the sky.

We got off the trail just as it was getting dark, and finished off the day at the little Italian restaurant that is out at the Borrego Springs Airport. None of us had been in there before, it was actually pretty good.  Another great day in the desert.

I Just saw this! I want to go bad. I will talk the wife into it!! Probably only able to go for sat. Frank, how enjoyable would this trip be for a 3 year old little girl?  My daughter loves going off-roading but not sure if she might just get board.....thoughts anybody???

Danny, you might want to post this over in the run thread in the Xcursions forum - might get more of a response. I can't say how this would be for a 3 year old, but some of the others have kids, maybe they have some ideas.  I think Brian's kids did a lot of offroading at that age, but I guess it depends on the kids. They seemed to enjoy it (barring the occasional cactus run-in).

I love these photos! There's nothing more beautiful than the desert in the spring.
