WIND, WINDY AND MORE WIND

Our first campground in the Palm Springs area was actually in Desert Hot Springs. It is across the freeway from Palm Springs.  Our first week was good, a little wind but not much.  Our 2nd week was a different story. The wind never let up, night and day.  If we walked around the camp, we had to hold our hats down with our hands. At night our RV was a rockin' and a rollin'.  We had gone to VillageFest one night and came home after dark. The sand was blowing so hard across the road that it looked like snow.  Once you cross I-10 (freeway) from Palm Springs to Desert Pools, it's like another weather world. It really gets on your nerves after a while, without any letup.  Denny had washed the truck the day before it started.  The next day, it looked like it hadn't be washed for weeks. Depressing.

Yesterday, we moved to another park in Indio. It feels great to actually sit outside without the wind blowing. No wind last night. How refreshing to wake up to no sound of the wind. 

After reading my rant about the wind again, I feel pretty stupid for complaining.  I would much rather have this wind than the tornado's in the Midwest. Hard to believe all the devastation. The pictures are amazing to see. 

We had planned on heading home yesterday, but it is still  a tad too cold and rainy. Decided to find another park for 2 more weeks. Today it is suppose to be 81 degrees, tomorrow 89.  Next week is in the high 70's, low 80's.  I have put in a little prayer for high 70's when we get home. Fat chance, since we plan to be home around April 10th, but I can always hope.
