End of Season in the Desert 4-25-11 to 4-30-11

End of Season at the Desert..



We arrived last Monday at MCC in Indio for our last week in the Desert. The weather was still an issue, high winds and the 527 mile drive in the Smart Car was not fun. It was so windy we lost rocker panel off the car. I was driving and thought we were getting hit by something until we stopped and found the piece missing. Not HAPPY CAMPERS!!! Anyway we got back on the road and made it to the Motorhome after 11 miserable hours. We have done this trip several times in the SmartCar and not too bad but this was a doozie…


We did get to the pool a couple days this last week again first time this season. Every time we were down this year it was either so windy or so cold. The park was about half full, many coaches leaving every day. The restaurant closed down this weekend so we were able to get a few good meals before they shut the doors until next Season. Hopefully next Season will have better weather and a bit more time in the Desert.


I got my retail therapy in, able to hit some of the shops that are only in the Desert. Was able to get my hair appointment in, going to miss Sharon, she is awesome. I am thinking of flying down just for an appointment in the Summer, since she does such a nice job.


Ed tolerated the week, thank goodness for the pool. We also got a bit of bike riding in which is good. We saw Gary and Sue just before they left on Thursday. They were closing up and heading home also.


We missed our neighbors Robert and Carol by a day, they need to get back to Texas.


We left Saturday and drove to Bakersfield for the night and on to Betabel RV Park in San Juan Bautista to meet up with our RV Group SIRS 15.


Until next time………….
