We awoke with the sun shining and high hopes of finally escaping the gray of the Northwest. Judy had a Kodak moment while sitting in the van’s doorway basking under the sun’s rays casually mentioning to Harris how at this very moment all is great with the universe. To be precise, she said that “At this very moment, I’m glad that we bought the rig… In six weeks I may not feel this way!”
A glorious morning at Kit Fox RV
Unfortunately, the storms caught up and overtook us 40 miles south of our departure. Another long day of driving, driving, driving, through the rain and wind and even a little snow. Who thought March would be a good time to vacation????? Sunny California, this ain’t. We drove south to LA and then headed east to Palm Springs. As we came into the valley where Palm Springs is located, we saw row upon row upon row upon row of wind turbines, all spinning merrily away. Harris thought they reminded him of seagulls on an ocean beach where everywhere you looked you saw white objects in motion. This should have been a clue. We arrived at Desert Pools Resort RV park, outside Desert Hot Springs. It seems to be a great place, although it’s set up more for long term visitors, with club activities, etc. We soaked in the hottest tub tonight, after a truly mediocre meal at the Morongo Casino. We’re nice and toasty warm in our rig, but the wind is rocking us from side to side…should be a great lullaby tonight!
