Silver Gypsy: Galleta Meadows

As part of my San Diego County trip, I ventured out one evening at dusk to explore Borrego Springs.  Imagine suddenly coming upon creatures who once roamed this earth eons ago, mammoths, wild horses, and giant sloths, scattered among the desert cactus and scrub trees.  I felt like I had taken one step beyond.  It was surreal.  The sculptures are huge, bizarre, rusted hulks resembling their live counterparts. I saw three elephants up close that didn’t quite look like elephants.  Later, from the Internet, I found they were “gomphotherium.”  (Not sure what the pleural of that is! – gomphotheriumi?)

Deserts like the Anza-Borrego are best served hot, say 114 degrees with 20% humidity. A deterrent for most, but some prefer their deserts sweltering like a furnace. Bearing such extreme temperatures does come with its rewards, namely in crowdless solitude, absolute quiet where you can hear your own footsteps loudly, and the added benefit of off-season rates at most hotels, resorts and golf courses in Borrego Springs.

Visitors to Anza-Borrego may be startled by the vision of life-sized metal sculptures of dinosaurs, mastodons and other prehistoric creatures rising from the desert floor like sentinels of a forgotten era. Other sculptures portray wild horses, birds of prey, tortoises, a saber-tooth tiger and Native American themes. The creations by sculptor Ricardo Breceda are just some of the many surprises in store for those who visit the Anza-Borrego Desert, a treasure trove of hidden gems.
