PALM SPRINGS

February 22, 2020

Moved to Palm Springs a week ago yesterday on  February 14th.  Finally starting to get some warm weather, nice to be in shorts, short sleeved t shirts and flip flops. It cooled down to 71 today (Denny actually put on a sweatshirt ), but going back up to 80's next week. 

This is our favorite area that we have traveled to. Just feels right. Eventho there are alot of people in the winter, still feels small town to me. Might be because even the side streets are 4 lanes wide. We have met several couples here on our travels, but now only down to 1.5 couples. All the others have either stopped traveling to  winter in one spot,  too ill to travel or have passed away.  Sad, but that happens when you get to our age. We met a great couple several years ago, but one guy has passed away, hence the .5 couple. They lived here full time, but we still see Bob. 

There are all sizes of RV's here, from a 10' teardrop trailer to 40' motorhomes and 5th wheels. 

We have never seen handwritten words on the side of an RV. They also put up a tent beside it which is against the rules. So far, no one has said anything. Must be a family traveling around, enjoying life.



Took this picture from outside our rv. You see alot of toy hauler trailers, but this is a big one. it holds 2 bicycles, a motorcycle and a little convertible sports car. You can see the lady tying down the sports car so they can leave the next day.  Our 5th wheel is the L shape on the left 



Short little trailer, a little too small for us! We have even seen smaller here at the park



This is the view coming into Palm Springs on I-10 from AZ. Amazing you go thru miles and miles of desert and then, all of the sudden, civilization.  The Palm Springs area is actually 7 cities  right next to each other, Cochella on one end, Palm Springs on the other. You never know what city you are in unless you see a sign. Before we started coming here, We always thought Palm Springs was one town, not 7 making up the whole area.
