Finally had some time to head back out to the Desert. I wanted to check out the Arroyo Deco Diablo area via Vallecito Creek and Arroyo Tapaido. Was a bit nervous about the road getting in there. It is tight in a few places but I never had any issues. The only issue was my coolant started leaking so I had to cut my trip short.
Heading up Arroyo Tapaido
Since I am too cheap to buy a go pro camera, I strapped my Iphone to my camper jack for some video fun
Arroyo Tapaido Bypass: 4wd Hi
Arroyo Tapaido Bypass continued 4wd LOW
Vallecito Creek: 2WD
As we drove past the mud caves there was not another soul around. Since our trip in the summer was cut short we decided to make a stop and set up camp.
checking out Chasm Cave
Hidden Cave
Concrection Canyon has some interesting formations
Continuing on through Arroyo Tapaido bypass road to Arroyo Seco Del Diablo
Some of the petrified wood in the area
Brenna found the needle in the haystack, not sure what size bullet this is or where it was shot from!
Just in case you are curious how concretions form
Concretion Mountain
The kids talked me into taking our new addtion to the family : Riley
.
Set up camp in Arroyo Seco Del Diable and roasted some hot dogs
The weather couldn't have been better out there and surprisingly no one else around.
Enjoying the desert.
Interesting deceased Ocotillo
Sunsets never get old
another stellar camp site

Evidence of life long ago
and the uplifting taking place
We headed over to agua caliente to cool off and hit up the Spa. Right now th outdoor kids pool is closed for renovation. This large pool was pretty brisk.
It was nice to get some fresh desert air
Total Mylar Balloons: 2
And a first ever water pool left behind from the recent rains. I guess Mylar balloons are good for something.
