MAR 2, Tuesday, Indio
This was a recuperating day! We stayed home and relax and gave our old bones a chance to rejuvenate. We did take a short drive to Palm Desert to see about a couple things but otherwise, it was home reading and relaxing
MAR 3, Wednesday, Indio
It was a windy day! Val went for her exercises then did some Tai-Chi in the morning. I caught up to a few things on the net then went to visit John. In the afternoon, Val had a haircut appointment so John, Dick and I went geo-caching for the afternoon. We finished off the Lemon Tree series that we had begun while in Desert Pool and did a couple of other ones.
We came home and went to John and Julie for happy hour. Dick and his wife joined us.
MAR 4, Thursday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VALERIE
And I sent her for exercises as a present!! Very windy this morning! We are golfing with Terry and Glenda this afternoon so let’s hope it settles down some by then. After showering, we went into Palm Desert to return the Delorme Pn20 as I found a better one on E-Bay and for about the same price; PN40 for $250. Afterwards, we drove to Palm Desert Springs and met up with Glenda and Terry. The wind was still blowing fairly strong so we went to their site and visited. After a while, it became too cool out there so we came in and played “Sequence” then had a marvellous dinner cooked with love by Glenda.
We came home around 9:30 pm filled to the brim, watched the tube for a while, then went to bed. A good day indeed!
MAR 5, Friday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
Sunny and calm today! My present to me was to spend part of the day geo-caching. We found 14 caches! For dinner, we went to Augustine Casino and I had steak and lobster and Val had a sirloin steak. We had searched for a “Red Lobster” restaurant but had no luck so the casino became the best bet.
MAR 6, Saturday, last day in Indio
We went to College of the Desert in the morning with Sid and Vera. We spent about 3 hours there then we went back to Sid and Vera’s campsite and had a drink, then said our goodbyes.
We went home and loaded the bikes and kayaks, put all the toys away and got ready to leave early tomorrow. We even hit the sack early (10 pm)
MAR 7, Sunday, Onward to Pahrump, Nevada
We were up by 6:30 am and found that we had no power!!? So that meant no coffee. We washed, got dressed and were hooked-up and ready to leave by 8 am. I dumped the tanks first then we headed west on I-10 to Hwy 62 where we headed north to Yucca. We climbed to 3500 feet from minus 20 feet. I had forgotten how beautiful the pass is and the rocks are so big and round! In Yucca we turned off on Hwy 247 and went up and down through the desert all the way to Barstow on I-15. On the way up, we stopped twice to find two caches near the highway. ( I am really hooked!!!?). In Barstow, we stopped for another cache but there were too many people around so we left as we didn’t want to wait. We continued north-east on I-15 to Hwy 127 at Baker. Yes, we stopped in Baker for another cache. This one was easy; there is a thermometer here claiming to be the tallest in the world so we took a pictures of it, noted the temperature, 62*F, then headed north on 127 towards Death Valley. Our final turn was Hwy 178 to Nevada and Pahrump. We climbed to 3000 feet then came down to 2800 feet in Pahrump. We are in site 607 in Charleston RV Resort. We got here around 3:30 pm and the office was closed but our papers were waiting for us. We parked, set-up and now we relax.
We travelled 449 KM (280 miles) in 7.5 hrs at an average of 47 MPH
N 36* 11' 34"
W 115* 56' 37"
Alt: 2878 feet
