We liked to watch the sunsets from there, guess I'll join him there eventually. The movie 'Last Days in the Desert' was filmed at Font's Point, not a great movie, but having watched a couple days of the filming.

In the movies when a plane comes zooming down shooting along the ground, that's called strafing.

It's really something to see it like that. I can't imagine hiking down there! I love the pics of Yuma running and I think it's hilarious and quite loyal that he's always waiting for you at the jeep. :) What is strafing? I've never heard of that. In your last picture of Yuma jumping at the jeep, it looks like he is a giant dog standing on his hind legs and front legs are up against the jeep! I had to do a double take! :):):) He's a good jumper!Sarah Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847216516190770272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-87818846286196452742017-02-08T08:43:46.750-06:002017-02-08T08:43:46.750-06:00No. I just raise the camera and click.

It is like she has springs on her legs. Yep sure was a windy one Tuesday alright. Like you I am constantly impressed with the scenery in this area. We've been coming to Borrego Springs for over 9 years now and are still amazed at all the new things we see that we had not seen before.
