Slab City to Borrego Springs

We had been told that there was a great hike in Borrego Springs so it has been on our list of things to do. We left the Slabs went around the south of the Salton Sea and then headed northwest to Anza Borrego Springs State Park. We arrived late in the day so only got a short hike in before nightfall. Thursday morning we hiked the Palm Canyon Trail...about 4 miles. It was a beautiful mountainous hike ending at a oasis of palms and a running brook that appeared our of nowhere. We had a slight mishap...Darcy slipped, even with 2 hiking poles and fell landing on a boulder pile hurting her pride and her left hand..It is getting better as the swelling goes down. I have been her able bodied assistant but she says I can take clothes off much better than I can put them on!
