FEB 19, Friday, Lytle Creek
It is cloudy and much cooler today. There is a storm coming in from the Pacific again and it’s supposed to last until next Tuesday.
Val decided to clean house so I went to the club house and caught up to our blog and uploaded it and also 4 new pictures on Picasa Web. A few people were there already including two Canadians that we met earlier in the week. We stayed home, read our e-mail and books and watched the tube. It rained in the evening.
FEB 20, Saturday, shopping day
After a very nice breakfast, we went to the valley and made a stop in Devore first to find our last cache. It was near a Sheriff’s Rehabilitation Centre (prison) and a training centre for Correctional Officer. We looked around then found our cache.
We then drove to Fontana for some groceries and also I had to buy an ink cartridge for my printer at Staples. We came back to Lytle Creek and stopped at the local pub for a beer and some wings then came home.
It rained in the evening and the wind picked up some.
FEB 21, Sunday, our last day in Lytle Creek
We woke up to a cloudy sky but with some sun shining through once in a while. The forecast is more rain today and overnight! It only got to 58*F today
After doing some internet, I loaded the kayaks and put everything away in preparation for our departure tomorrow. We spent the rest of the day reading and watching the Olympics and a movie.
This place is really nice and it is a wonderful place for a young family. The only disadvantage to it is its isolation especially if one is here for more than a few days. We would come back but not for this long again. People were friendly enough but into their own circles. We look forward being back in Indio area.
FEB 22, Monday; to Indio, CA
I woke up to sunshine but it quickly changed to clouds and rain. After a lazy morning, we left around 10:20 a,m, and headed down to I-15 then south on I-215. We took a shortcut via 210 and missed all of Riverside traffic and eventually came out onto I-10 East. The ride was uneventful and we arrived in Indio at our park, Indian Water resort, a WHR park, around 1:15 pm. We booked in, paid our dues under AOR and set up in spot # 211 in what is call the “parking lot” because there is no grass on this side and no sewer but there is an “honey wagon” that comes around 3 times a week. Nice to have internet at our rig and usage of our phone again!
It is sunny but very windy with strong gust. It eventually died down in the evening.
We travelled 98 miles (160 KM) in 3 hours at an average speed of 49 MPH
N 33* 42’ 23”
W 116* 12’ 43”
Alt: 30 feet
FEB 23, Tuesday, Indio
Val went for her exercises and I attended a class on computer. Once Val was showered and ready, we went to visit Sid and Vera (my son-in-law’s parents) at “Thousand Trails Park”. We had a very nice visit and made plans for later in the week. We also called Terry and Glenda and learned that they are still having problems with their truck; we tentatively made arrangements to meet later.
I would love at this point to make a smart crack here on Chevy vs Ford but I've had problems of my own and cannot in honesty make any comments other then be sympathetic!!! (SMILE)
It was sunny and warm today but another storm is on its way and as a matter of fact, by the time we came home from our visit with Sid and Vera, clouds had filled the sky. We called the kids in the evening and the only person home was Rochelle; the grand-kids were all out busy doing their own thing and Kevin was still at work but we had a nice conversation with Rochelle. I also tried Wilf, my father in law, but he wasn’t home.
