The day dawned beautifully. It was warm, but not too warm to walk about the park.
At about 11:00 we set up our lounge chairs on the beach… The river was quiet still, with a few water skiers and very few racing jet skis and motorboats…
But it was hot. Sitting in the shade only lasted about 20 minutes before we had to go dip ourselves in the water to cool off. It was refreshing…
We had lunch in the coolest part of the restaurant, then returned to the beach. But it was hot. We decided to go back to the Villa and relax in the coolness of the AC, but it was hot.
How hot was it?
We decided to head for home early. We quickly packed up the Villa and we were off at about 5:15… About 30 minutes we were back in California. Also, interestingly, we were also back in San Bernardino County, the county in which we live. We will drive through San Bernardino County for the entirety of the trip, another 3 1/2 to 4 hours…
Lots of interesting mountains to see through this stretch of desert wilderness…
Near Desert Center we came across these palm tree farms…
Finally, at 9:10 we pulled into the storage spot in Mentone Beach…
We off-loaded the Villa into the truck, arriving home just after 10:00 pm.
And an enjoyable time was had by all…
PS: Next blog begins July 23, when we head to Missouri to participate in the Oregon Trail Caravan…!
