3/26-4/2 - Palm Desert RV Resort, Palm Desert, CA

As many of you have discovered, we did not go to Las Vegas after San Diego, but kept traveling in California.  If you haven't been in Palm Springs before, IT IS WINDY!!!!!!  It blows sand around like there is no tomorrow, but the wind dies down the closer to the mountains you get.

We took the downtown tour and checked out the Hard Rock Hotel, ate lunch at Las Casuelas, and looked around at the Thursday Fest.  The big statue of Marilyn was being dismantled and moved somewhere else, so they had a big do as a sendoff.

still snow up top!

We also took a drive into the Santa Rosa/San Jacinto National Monument (mountains) and took a trip up on the Palm Springs Aerial Tram, which is in the park area.

We also toured Joshua Tree National Park.  These are weird trees, a cross between a shrubby tree and a cactus.

Skull Rock!
