Teeth Grinding, White Knuckle, Hold on Tight

We wound up our time in Indio with the Coachella Music Festival. Not that we attended but we watched tons of young folks who descended on the RV Park for the weekend, there were hundreds of them in our park alone. They warned us that it might get noisy and a bit rowdy. Well I must say they were all well behaved and didn't bother us at all. It sure was fun watching.

We stayed an extra day in Indio because there were some very high winds, a semi was blown on its side right there in Palm Springs, roads were closed and there was so much dust in the air we couldn't see the mountains. It looked like there would be a break on Wednesday so we headed out early, well we probably should have waited another day, it was a scary drive, the wind blew us all over the road. But we made it to Bakersfield with only a sore jaw from grinding my teeth.

We are now in Chowchilla for the weekend at a very nice resort that has a golf course makes us wish we golfed again, a lovely place. Here's a link www.thelakesrv.com

We don't want to admit it but our winter snowbirding is officially over and we will be home soon enough. We plan on pulling into town on April 27. Deb and Jerry are going to join us for our last two nights at Seven Feathers in Canyonville. I'm going to go through some pictures and put them up here to close out the season.

More Later,

Rich

Spring break with Kooper

We had the pleasure of having our grandson coming to Palm Springs to spend his spring break. This was actually the first time he flew by himself, having to change planes once on the way down and twice on the way home, he did a good job too.

He sure is getting tall he's already the tallest in the family. We wanted to show him some of the local sights so we went to "The Living Desert", for a day and we all enjoyed that, they have animals and plants from desert climates all over the world there. Two things we wanted to do had to be cancelled, the Aerial Tram (it was too windy), and Joshua Tree National Park (car problems). Kooper and I fixed the car but it was too late to go.

He really enjoyed downtown Palm Springs and we went to eat there several times it's also a great place to people watch.

Las Casuelas for some great Mexican food.

Lulu's California Bistro, we had a sidewalk table good food and good people watching.

Also downtown was Fisherman's Market & Grill wonderful seafood, we all had the freshest grilled shrimp. They have another restaurant in Palm Desert that we had lunch at a few days earlier.

We didn't always go out to eat here Koop and I are BBQing a couple of steaks.

 

Here's Koops.

And don't forget we went to In-N-Out Burger.

Again we had a wonderful time and hope he can come back next year.

Morning on the Colorado River, and guess who's coming for dinner.

We stopped for just one night in Ehrenberg on the Colorado River. It's spring here and it sure is lovely.

 

We drove here from Casa Grande yesterday and we wish we could spend more time, but guess who's coming for a visit.

Well he's not bringing his guns but he is on spring break and his mom surprised him with a ticket to Palm Springs. We are looking forward to showing him around and seeing some of the local sights. He arrives at PSP this afternoon so we must be on the road shortly.

More Later,

Rich
