Tuesday, March 11, 2014 (Indian Waters RV Resort, Indio, CA)

We were both awake earlier than usual this morning...we are early riser but it was 5:15 when I looked at my watch and I just couldn't get back to sleep. Steve said he had been awake since 5:30.

It was shortly after 10:00 by the time we got out for a walk around the RV resort. This is our site...

There's a tiny Scamp trailer next door...looks a little out of place with all the big rigs...

We walked the path that goes along one end of the resort...

It really is a nice RV park...they have some "deluxe" grass sites. The grass sites are nice but we prefer the gravel ones (just not the pull-through). The grass sites have sprinklers that are turned on at night and can't help but get your rig wet...and of course, the result is water-spots with the high-calcium water down here.

Pickleball...

Swimming pools...

Dennis and Suzanne picked us up shortly after noon and we headed off to do a little shopping...first stop was Harbor Freight (an interesting store), then Home Depot and finally Walmart. It was after 2:00 when we arrived at their place and we sat around chatting over a beer and snacks...


Dennis, Suzanne, Steve, Dick and Jean...

Shortly after 4:00 we headed to Hog's Breath Inn for their happy hour. The pub and restaurant is owned by Clint Eastwood and is in a real cool historic area of La Quinta...







Dick and Jean joined us (left to right...me, Dick, Jean, Dennis, Steve and Suzanne)...

We enjoyed a couple of drinks and a light dinner and then headed home. We stopped to drop Suzanne off at their place so she could go to bingo (it started at 6:30). She had invited me to join her but I declined...opting instead to have a quiet evening and an early night.
