Cottonwood Springs
Gen George Patton Museum
We headed South through the National Park to near the Southern entrance. We camped for two night at Cottonwood Springs campground. The site was so unlevel that the wheels on the left side came right off the ground when I auto leveled. We went to the oasis where the springs are and took a short hike. We drove over to near Palm Springs and visited some of Jim and Jeanette's friends that live in Laurel, MT in the summer and Palm Springs in the winter. We drove around and saw some sites, and that evening I got to watch the BCS championship football game.
We also visited the General George Patton Museum. This area covered 18,000 sq miles and was used to train troops in WWII for desert combat. Patton trained his men for the invasion of North Africa here.
