» Thanksgiving in Borrego Springs, California
by Diana Tolerico
I have been a full-time RVer for 14 years, primarily “boondocking,” camping free without hookups, in the Western US. I am connected electronically with the world via satellite TV, cell phone and internet card. My batteries are charged by solar panels.

Finally — the big day! The servers are ready to fork over the turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, and stuffing.

There were about 80 WINs at the big event, most clustered in the shade. The temperature was in the 70s, but the sun was warm.

I am so thankful that I not only get to spend Thanksgiving with many of my friends, but also with my sister, Barbara.

We had barely finished dinner when storm clouds gathered. After the shower, were were treated to a beautiful rainbow.

New to Borrego Springs this year is a series of metal sculptures of prehistoric animals that were native to the area.

Of course the WINs can’t get together without going dancing. (Have to work off all that food) We went to the American Legion one night.

Another night we went to the Hog Trough Saloon in town, where Tin Star played a mixture of rock, funk, and country.
