Palm Desert.............for the Rich & Famous?

We're staying warm and sunny in southern California with a couple of weeks at Lake Cahuilla County Park on the shores of  "Lake" Cahuilla.  What could be better than high 70s, lots of sunshine, and all of the flowers and magnificent landscapes along the housing and golf resorts.  Makes for great biking down the paved roads.  And all of this with our fellow RVer friends.

Biking to downtown La Quinta for a great bagel & lox at the local biker(pedal) restaurant, then a nice walk through the Celebration fine art show at the civic center.. all on a nice 18 mile round trip bike.

                How about a Polo tournament on a Sunday afternoon?  Pretty impressive horses and riders, and some serious competition.

Then a day trip out to Joshua Tree National Park, amongst the rocks and Joshua Trees...….a very magical place...………..Wish we had decided to camp here for a few nights!  There's even some free transportation to get around the park.






Then back to our campsite in La Quinta.  Lots more biking and eating.  Every street we bike has such beautiful landscapes, and all of the flowers!

We had a surprise, a large rainstorm with thunder and lightening.  Everything flooded, but hours later only the plants knew it had rained.
