Art and Margaret came down for a visit. They rented a place on the next street over from us. This is taken at "The River", a place with restaurants and shops around a man made river in the desert.
We went to the street fair in Palm Springs. They shut the main street down every Thursday evening.
Here's Art heading to the pool to get some sun.
This was a beautiful sight. It snowed in the high desert so the contrast was picturesque.
This past week I went exploring in the mountains with Dave from Kelowna. Of course when in the states we have to shoot guns.
We did some hiking in the mountain trails.
Before we left the Orange Grove we picked a basket of oranges. They loan you the picker poles at the RV office.
We found a Della's Restaurant for lunch, in honour of our friend Della. Her picture is even on the sign.
Then we made it to Palm Springs where I assumed my usual position in the pool. We met up with friends we made here that are from Kelowna and Vernon.
Tonight we made it to Orange Grove RV Park in Bakersfield California, parking between the orange trees. The weather has been perfect on this trip. All the mountain passes did not have any hint of snow. Last year we drove through a snow storm in January.
You know you're getting old when you can't put a dent in a buffet like you used to. We spent the night at Rolling Hills Casino in Corning California, where they have an RV Park in the back lot. A feature of staying here is the all you can eat buffet. Even though I did not go up 5 times for the meat like I used to, I still hurt myself.
New Years was quite tame for us this year. We went to Vernon for New Years and made some new friends there. We came back to Abbotsford for a few days, for grandson Caleb's 5th birthday and got ready to head south. Right now we are in Salem Oregon for the night. We will take 4 days to get to Palm Springs. Can't wait for the heat and palms.
