    I love China Ranch date farm. But $45 for dry camping in a self contained rv for a night? My rv. (Hipcamp)

    • @KissFromTheWorld
      @KissFromTheWorld  5 месяцев назад

      I absolutely share your love for China Ranch date farm; it's a truly unique and magical place. While the $45 fee for dry camping in a self-contained RV may seem high at first glance, one can argue that the exceptional experience of staying in such a special location, surrounded by the beauty of the Mojave Desert and the historic date farm, justifies the cost. The ambiance and atmosphere of the place might contribute significantly to the overall value of the experience. It's not just about camping; it's about immersing oneself in the charm and uniqueness of the surroundings. Your personal experience underscores the value of the location itself. Safe travels!

    I listen to a lecture by Dr Jorge Flechas and he was saying that boron in the soil of this desert makes the dates very healthy. Is that true? Have you tested the soil content for boron?
