Wind Caves Camp

The troop headed off to a different spot in Anza-Borrego this weekend.  We drove out to Fish Creek where we set up camp.  Then we hiked a few miles to the wind caves.  The caves were pretty cool and there were quite a few troops and other groups there.  We also got great views of the Elephant Knees nearby.  That might be a good spot for a future desert backpacking trek.

Follett Foursome

A foursome of Ken Follett books:

• The Man from St. Petersburg - my favorit Follett novel so far
• The Modigliani Scandal - early, unfined Follett
• Lie Down with Lions - ok but with a bad ending
• The Key to Reb1ecca - good spy novel on one of my favorite WWII theaters: North Africa
