WOW! We took a short drive through the Box Canyon to see the Salton Sea and also found the warmest spot in the country, 85! As a part of the Imperial valley, the surrounding desert is filled with oranges, vineyards and produce to make the best salads, all grown with the water from the Colorado River irrigation system. This is a spot that was hot in the 50's and 60's, but with the sea's rising salinity the popularity dwindled. It's not the usual beach but I'm thrilled with the huge bird count, the beautiful vistas and no crowds. We expect the latter to change as we drive back to Quartzsite this weekend for the largest RV rally in the country.
