In March, Cousin Fred again invited us to join him for a conference where he was stayng at Embassy Suites in South Tahoe. It was snowing, and continued through the night. We woke up to a white landscape, and I had to buy boots to walk and hike around. There was complimentary breakfast and happy hour drinks and snacks, and a gym, pool, sauna and hot tub for three days and two nights. We drove around Lake Tahoe, counter clockwise, in the 4Runner.
Afterward, we drove south, stopping in Sequoiah on the way, to meet Jean and Jerry in Anza Borrego!
After Jean and Jerry left for home, Steve and I spent a couple more days, at Mortero Palms,
Ghost Mountain,
a place we call Tamarisk Grove (space junk? see full size)
A beautiful slot canyon in later years we found to be shut off from camping- too dangerous? 
Then back to Desert View Highlands for Easter, and a rare snowfall, before heading home again.
