A cabin shaded by tamarisk trees

Cabin 14 in tamarisk grove campground in Anza Borrego.

The Pleiades star cluster, to the right and above the bright Jupiter. To the naked eye, it looks like blue mist. The camera sees a cluster of stars in the shape of a tiny dipper.

The tamarisk grove campground is at the intersection of two roads, S3 and Hwy 78, and shaded by large tamarisk trees, an invasive species. There are some nice short hikes in the vicinity including the Yaqui Wells trail. From the Bill Kenyon overlook, you can see the broad San Felipe wash by 78. The famous slot canyons are only 10 miles away.
