Finally we have found sunshine and warm temps. This is day 2 in Palm Springs, it's 70 degrees today and it feels great. Yesterday, we spent the day on the tandem riding around the valley. In total about 40 miles. All I can say is that the area is a typical So Cal town where everyone is in a car going some where, not really a walking or biking kind of town. After the ride we jumped in the hot tub at the RV park and was basically done for the night. The RV park that we are in is small with maybe 80 sites, with concrete pads and hedges between the sites. It's filled with snow birds from Canada, Washington, and otther points north. There are lots of old people with gray hair, and expensive cars in Palm Springs. I guess this is how Florida is going to be like, old people waiting for the early bird specials. Oh heck I guess Jack and I belong to this group....
Today, we woke to a beautiful morning with blue skies. We took the tram ride to the top of San Jacinto mt where there was 4 feet of snow on the ground. Air temp of about 55 so it wasn't to bad hiking around. The views were awesome. Once we have wifi I will attached some pictures. I haven't yet figured out how to attach pics using my I pad.
More warm temps for the rest of the week. Tomorrow we are off to Quartsite Arizona for one night. Quartzite is famous for a winter RV town that grow from about 4000 people in the summer to over 100000 people in the winter all just parked in their RVs in the desert. Supper to be quite a sight. Not high culture but an uniquely American experience.
That's it form today.
