After saying good-bye to our new friends we hit the road continuing our journey west and south. The drive through the mountains and hills was very pretty but surprisingly built up. Ed was very happy we were driving during a non-rush hour time as there was more than enough traffic --- or maybe rush hour is all the time. Anyway, we made it to the RV resort and marvelled at the difference between the photographs on the resort's web site and reality. The resort is fine and given that it is in a large city, I'm not surprised that the sites are smaller than they appeared on the website. The roadways are wide as the website describes except parking is allowed on both sides .... so not so wide when you're parking your RV.

Our friends, John and Carol met us at the resort. For as long as we've known John and Carol they have been vegetarians and have had house trained bunnies thus the nickname "the rabbits". It was great to see them again and I'm looking forward to spending the next week them exploring San Diego.

The RV resort in Indio has a beautiful pond.

Too bad I didn't think to take photos in the middle of the day to catch the water lilies when the flowers were open.

Taking photos from a moving vehicle when traffic is whizzing by is not conducive to great photos but at least it shows how pretty the drive through Palm Springs is.

I really am amazed at the size of the wind farm. This is just one little section of it. Wind farms are being installed at home generating lots of controversy --- think someone there should contact someone at the wind farm company in Palm Springs to get answers to the public's questions.
