4th of July - Ocotillo Wells

Last weekend we had an incredible time out in the desert. We attended the 29th annual Ocotillo Wells Golf Tournament. The Golf tournament helped raise money for Thundering Trails and Friends of Ocotillo Well.

Courses are set up thoughout two trailer parks. Golf Clubs are handed out along with a tennis ball. Every hole had a cooler filled up with beverages (both alcoholic and non) At one of the holes, the sponsor was BBQing hotdogs. BBQ hotdogs are the best on 4th of July.

After the tournament there was a 4th of July Parade. Everyone decorated their golf carts, trucks, you name it and they participaed in the parade down Split Moutain road past the Iron Door bar. Calfire even got in on the fun and partipated with a few trucks there. Two of the trucks sprayed water onto the crowd. It as easily over 100 degrees outside and the water was refreshing.

Take a look at the photos and video I took during the event. Press the pause button on my pink playlist on the bottom right so that you can enjoy the sound from the video. Really a good time! Special thanks to all the sponsors and folks that put this event together!
