We all decided to travel back together the way we had driven, past Salton sea, and then follow route S22, towards Borrego Springs, then towards Encinitas,at the coast.
It had snowed all along the mountain route, cacti covered in snow!!! Must be a shock to their system!!!
We stopped here and there for snacks and lunch, and to take some photos, the scenery was just beautiful. Once we were at the coast, we decided to stay in Oceanside again, and spend New years eve together.
