We left Boulder, NV early and drove through the hilly neighborhood by the Quality Inn. The manager the night before told us we might see some if we're lucky. We never got lucky, we turned south and headed for California . . .
. . . and made a stop in Searchlight, NV. before heading into the Imperial Dunes in SE CA.
As we drove through the BLM Rec area, we drove into one of those incredible monsoon storms. All traffic on hiway #78 came to a complete stop (even the truckers wouldn't drive through it) as visibility was absolute ZERO!
We parked and waited for about 15 minutes until it cleared and then we were treated to the beautiful dunes all edged with wet sand.
We rolled into Brawley around sundown and headed to the most Mexican looking restaurant we could find.
Every year lodging near the Salton Sea gets more difficult to find as all the motels seem to have gone out of business. We found a room at the only place in Calipatria. Our plan was - Brock wanted to head to San Diego the next morning and I was going to spend 4-5 days with my camera around the shores of the Salton Sea.
