    First time dry camping with the trailer

    The wife and I decided to head out Saturday night to anza-borrego desert state park to boondock for the first time. It’s only the third time using the trailer. We settled in an area called Blair valley. Turns out it gets cold there in the winter, it was 26 degrees in the morning.
