Palm Desert–What Site Was That Again?

It was another sunny day as we prepared to leave. The slides and jacks performed as they are supposed to and we reluctantly leave the beautiful view site #30, at Malibu Beach RV Park this morning.

The traffic across LA was not too bad but the opposite direction was stopped for miles.

On our way into the desert we see a golden oasis, the Morango Indian Casino. We stopped there and fueled up.

We arrived at the Emerald Desert RV Resort around one o'clock. After checking in at the office we proceeded to the assigned site, 95, the same one we had last year. When we arrived at #95 we found it already occupied by another motorhome. Nobody was home so we contacted the office and after a lot of confusion and back and forth we just pulled into site 93 and the office blessed our decision. The sites are all mostly the same but this site was a better one as it had some shade from some large trees.

We are here for a month.

We had some gorgeous sunsets.

We went on a bus tour of Palm Springs and learned a lot about the stars who use to live or visit the area.  Had a great time.

A special surprise, my sister Jan and her husband John visited for a few days.

While we were here we had Horizon and the jeep washed and waxed.

We started to walk along a trail with Debbie keeping a sharp eye out having seen the sign.

The only wildlife we saw were these cute little guys who said they hadn’t seen any rattle snakes.

Debbie decided to wait at the car.
