Borrego Springs

A little over three weeks ago we bought a new truck (finally!). Our 14 year old truck was on it's last legs and we decided to shop around and see what was out there. Three dealerships later and test driving three specific trucks, we decided on our newest baby- a Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Our last truck was not a true 4x4 and I couldn't wait to take this one out for a road trip. So with paper plates still attached, we decided to take the truck out to Borrego Springs to see the giant metal sculptures (Galleta Meadows) and do a little off-roading in Coyote Canyon. I have always wanted to see the sculptures and they were everything I imagined and more. We only had a half a day to explore and found about half of the sculptures. I can't wait to go back out and find the rest of them!

No 4x4 needed but watch out for soft sandy spots if you stray from the road.

Awesome sea serpent that spans both sides of the road!

Such a little poser!

My favorites so far... We still haven't seen them all!
