Palm Desert

Today we return to California! However, to delay our return home we are stopping to spend the night with like-minded friends in Palm Desert…

First, we had to deal with a torrential downpour as we were dumping, disconnecting, and hitching up. I soaked through two rain coats and several hats before we were on our way…

And then the sun came out…

The Arizona desert is bleak…

We stopped in Quartzite for fuel…

…and a little refreshment… (Friends of ours own this franchise…)

They do have interesting food in Quartzite…

More desert, then the border:

We cleared inspection, and were allowed to enter…

The California desert is just as bleak as it is in Arizona…

And then we were in Palm Desert; ew, ew,ew, looking out my back door… (actually Doug’s back door…)

Happy Hours ensued, and we see dinner coming…

And an enjoyable time was had by all…

It’s been a long time since I have written our Blog, and there has been a lot of water over the bridge since you last heard from us. Over the next few Blogs I will try to get us caught up on how our year has been going…

We packed up the truck and picked up the Villa from its storage space and set out for Palm Desert. Emerald Desert RV Resort is one of our favorite places to camp and, this trip, it didn’t disappoint. We were assigned to a nice grassy site with a clean concrete pad. First order of the day was to get the Villa a bath – after sitting for a month with dry, dusty air and Santa Ana winds blowing it was filthy!Indian Wells RV Detailing told us they could wash the Villa the next day.

We spent a lot of time walking around the park, to get our daily exercises in…

We spent a lovely weekend with our friends, Doug and Lorraine Wilson, visiting most days in their condo in Palm Desert. We also met up with Rob, our favorite Palm Springs Realtor, for a quick lunch…

We even had time for a picture of ourselves!

It was a fun, relaxing weekend and a great way to begin the year – good friends, football, wine, and warm sunny weather – just what New Years Day is all about!

An enjoyable time was had by all…
