Approaching Brawley be sure to catch the by-pass around to the north. You'll know the way from there up through Westmoreland.....Back at that T-Intersection if you turn right on the way to Blyth California you will come to the Cibola National Refuge on the right. There are some nice quiet spots in there. Jeep roads, water, wildlife, a forest complete with a nice walking path, thousands of birds, visitor center, etc.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-56640874131071821522020-01-11T15:48:17.844-06:002020-01-11T15:48:17.844-06:00Yep, that's what happened to Captain Nemo........Yep, that's what happened to Captain Nemo.....Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843321064451565426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-26921709225523139952020-01-11T11:52:51.353-06:002020-01-11T11:52:51.353-06:00Thanks Shirley.
