Saturday we went to the Flea market over at Sky Valley, a nice looking campsite with a lot of park models, both older and newer. Nice facilities, though there wasn't much for sale, and it was at people's sites so you had to drive around a bit. It has an east side and a west side, also hair salon and restaurant, besides their pool and clubhouse complex.
After that we went and had lunch at Agua Caliente Casino in town, not that remarkable, and we played the slots and lost a small amount.
Got the truck washed in Desert Hot Springs by some students of an alternate school, and then came back here. Di went to the pool and Lary had a siesta then joined me at the pool.
Sunday we drove 2 hours over to visit Craig, Di's stepbrother and his wife Cindy in Escondido at their lovely home. They had a nice lunch for us, but they were very busy, after 5 months of hard work they plan to put their home on the market on Tuesday. It is a super place, 3 floors, very expensive and has 2 acres with lots of vegetation, very labour intensive for them. It has a 1 acre avocado grove at the back of the property. It has a huge bank of solar panels, too, as well as a pool and gorgeous grounds.
They have a condo at Incline Village in Lake Tahoe, Nevada that they will move to when the house sells.
We had a nice visit and a catchup, unfortunately in my opinion there is a small development going in right beside them, it is now 8 acres and will be perhaps 4 luxury homes, but at the moment it is dead avocado trees being removed one at a time for the proposed development. A bit of an eyesore for a prospective buyer for Craig's home, with a possible long lasting construction project beside them.
Time will tell what happens in this market -it only takes one buyer, but what a market to try and sell property in. It will be in a high price bracket, too.
Came back home around 8 PM and Lary has developed a cold, so he feels quite poorly.
Monday we welcomed back Dave and Wendy S. and we moved over to be much closer to the upper clubhouse and pool complex, Sue and Jen Di's sisters are coming on Saturday for a 6 day visit and will be staying in a rental park model trailer, on the other side of the upper pool from us.
The park here is really emptying out, there is a large group of Class A buses visiting, but the "locals" are really starting to go in droves. At the end of March all the organized activities stop, and also the food services stop, so we're much more on our own from now on.
On Sunday night when we came back from San Diego there were huge winds happening here, with blowing dust, so we pulled in our slide overnight, the canopy above the slide really makes a racket, and pulls the trailer around in high winds.
