If there is one item every Borregan has and uses often, it is an ice chest. When Trader Joe's, Costo, Albertson's, Staters and other large stores are, at least, an hour's drive away, an ice chest is not only a convenience but a necessity!
What a different life we lead, here, in Borrego Springs! I used to jump into the car, drive a few miles to get vacuum bags, tennis balls, get a car wash, go to a movie, buy a Frostee Freeze or have a Big Mac. NOT HERE...and we like it that way!
There have probably been no scientific studies on the Borrego population at large, but I'll bet that any study would show, in general, that Borrego folk are much more organized and creative than those who live in cities. We schedule up to six or more critical stops each time we venture out of the valley...and keep a running list anticipating our next "out of Borrego" experience.
A typical list of ours would include stops at physicians or ophthalmologists, Trader Joe's, Bank ( ATM ), Home Depot or Lowe's, Petco, Costco, Albertson's, Wallgreens, Staples, William's Nursery, In and Out and, sometimes Westwood Mall. We leave home around 8 am and return around 5 PM. Quite a day...I'm sure glad we only schedule it about once a month!
