JAN 13, Wednesday, Desert Hot Spring
We both got up early and Val decided to take a break from her exercises so we had a lazy morning. My neighbour had the water hose hooked up to his tank cleaning valve and forgot to open the sewer valve so, you guessed it, the tank filled, went up the vent pipe and proceeded to overflow on the roof and inside the coach. They were both away walking around the park. We turned off the water once we realize what was happening.
There was a yard sale in the park this morning but soon came to an end as the wind picked up and made things uncomfortable. We had a bit of rain early this morning. Actually, that’s what woke me up!
In the afternoon, we went geo-caching around the area and while looking for a cache, we came upon the “Veteran of Foreign War” (VFW) where they were serving Tacos(1.50) and beer(6.00/pitcher) for lunch so we tried it and it was great. The place was packed with locals and RV’ers from different Parks. We continued searching caches after lunch and called it quit around 3:30 pm. We are really enjoying this as you can tell.
JAN 14, Thursday, Desert Hot Spring
Another windy day! It was a choice between laundry and geo-caching and the latter won. We found the last 10 of our list of 20 caches and came home once it was done. The day got cooler towards the late afternoon so we came in the rig. I registered my finds on geo-cache.com and Val watched Oprah. We had dinner then watched a movie.
JAN 15, Friday, laundry day
Val decided to do the laundry today so we went to town as the park’ laundry room was occupied and with a line up. After doing the laundry and putting it away, we went out to grab a half dozen more caches. These were quite easy to find and along a road heading for a gravel pit.
We came home and after changing, we went back to the VFW hall and had the Pork Chop dinner as it was advertised as being really good. They were huge and quite delicious. We had a few beers than came home.
JAN 16, Saturday, Palm Desert
We went to the College of Desert where there is a big street fair. Before arriving we picked up a couple caches in town. One was called “a little bit of Beauty” which happened to be a hair dresser school. Val went in to check them out and ended up getting a haircut for $20. I bought a couple of little things for the rig then we left and found two more caches around the College of Desert grounds. We came home via Monterrey and found another cache then came home.
The park is full again. Another warm day but cloudy in the morning however the sun came out in the afternoon. It cooled off fast later in the afternoon. The forecast is for a change in the weather and possible rain the next few days.
Jan 17, Sunday, last day in Desert Hot Springs
Our day began with me cooking breakfast; pancakes and bacon. It is sunny and warm outside and after showering, I went to town to fill the truck ($3.09/gal) and get some propane. We went for ice cream and social hour at 2 p.m. then we packed and got ready for tomorrow. This is our last day here and tomorrow, we leave for Menifee, California, via Colton where I want to get the furnace and hot water tank checked at “Giant RV”; it keeps blowing fuses everytime I put the electrical switch on.
Val cooked a roast for dinner which was delicious then we watched the tube and relaxed. It began raining early in the evening, not much but they’ve been forecasting a storm coming through for the last three days and I think it is here...Figures...we’re moving tomorrow!
