Whew it has turned very hot here, high 80s or low 90s. Lovely weather, we are heading for the pool ASAP.
Arrived here on Saturday, had cinnamon buns first at Pilot Knob before we left there for DHS. Lots of buggies in the dunes areas alongside the highway that parallels the US/MX border. Windy over the weekend, we are right over on the edge of the park, 2 sites away from Dave and Wendy, and the man between us is 84 years old and away on a cruise to Hawaii.
We both love Dave and Wendy's new Cardinal 33 ft trailer, wow and more wow. They headed off to Jazz in the Gardens at El Paseo, and we had roast chicken dinner here in the clubhouse. Yum yum.
Sunday we went in to an art show in Palm Springs, and met Dave and Wendy there. Lary bought me a pretty glass shamrock for St Patrick's day. Home and had burgers at the clubhouse with Dave and Wendy. I had bought a dichroic pendant at the art show.
Gave Dave and Wendy some ProSecco Italian sparkling wine, and Wendy served us strawberries and ice cream for dessert. Yum. Looked at some of their cruise photos.
Monday Di and Wendy went to a card making course, and made 4 cards each with Judy Cox as teacher, fabulous session with ideas burbling out of Judy, a very generous teacher. Dave and Lary went to the manager's meeting here in the park to get the latest info about the park. Went to the pool, it was very warm.
St Patrick's Day Lary and I went over to Banning on the highway to see a few Cardinal trailers they have. Saw 2 - 2009s and one 2008 that Lary thinks is our floor plan. They said they would make us a very good deal, it's the RV Discount centre or something like that.
Then Lary and I went up to Yucca Valley, on the way there we saw a travel trailer on the highway, tipped over on its side at the edge of the highway, very frightening to see. Not sure what had gone wrong with that day for those people, but it tied up traffic, and is very sobering to see, too, for us RVers.
Yucca Valley was very hot, higher than PS/DHS. We went up to see an art show of paintings and photos of cactus flowering, combined with a reduce/reuse/recycle exhibit. Very fascinating how some folks can make art out of found objects etc.
The girl in the museum, the Hi Desert Nature Museum up there told us about a cowboy western village ghost town in their area, Pioneertown, so we went there and strolled up and down dusty main street. It was built in 1946 by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers for a movie set, and many movies, around 200, were filmed there over the years. Now just a dusty stage set kind of, though some folks live there on "mane street". There is also a wooden motel there, 20 unit, you can stay there as well as board your horse out back. It's wooden, and looks picturesque.
Came home and ate in, there are strict policing policies in force on St Paddy's Day as it is a drive and drink problem down here, which leads to accidents.
Our internet has been acting up horribly, we have had almost no connectivity, so Lary went to a seminar today about that. The technician guy here, Bryan sold Lary a new Wi Fi antenna, the one we bought wasn't working at all. Pity about the first one, but this new one works wonderfully, bumping up the speed magically. Ah me, when technology works well it's terrific, when it doesn't work, we could both throw out the computer, not fair as it's not the computer's fault.
That's about it for now, it's off to the pool we go. Tra laa.
