21/11: Indio

There were high wind and blowing sand warnings when we pulled out of Quartzsite this morning. Ed took it easy and was happy that the trucks were blown half a lane over when they were past us not beside us. The terrain was interesting --- we were driving through a flat desert with mountains on three sides of us. The mountains to the south were a fair distance away but you could see them clearly. The altitude did change as well, we were as high as 500 meters and as low as -5 meters. Indio is near Palm Springs and is a very pretty area. The RV park we pulled into is very pretty --- green grass, palm trees, flowering bushes and a pond with water lilies in bloom. A hummingbird was a buzzing around and stopped to check Ed out as he was wearing a red t-shirt. While we were walking around the park we met a nice couple from Vancouver Island who also pull a Titanium fifth wheel. We enjoyed a glass of wine and a visit with them.
