Wednesday | 25 April 2007 | Indio, California: It was 73 degrees this
morning when I went outside to warm-up the Honda CRV in preparation for
towing. Seventy-three degrees! Seventy-three degrees! We were so excited.
And, as if someone had rang a bell - at 9 am all the motorhomes in our row
were preparing to hit the highway for another day of adventure on the road.
Tow cars were warming up, slide rooms were being retracted, good-old-boys
were comparing horse power with their neighbors. Ah, the sweet smell of
diesel.
We headed
towards Palm Springs on Highway 58 - finally being repaved -
through grape fields (for grapes and raisins, not wine),
chili fields and acres and acres of citrus. Sprinkled among
all this agriculture are the occasional oil rig; heads
bobbing up and down, looking like steel dinosaurs dining on
the earth. The air was heavy and traffic was terrible due to
the paving activity as we headed up the Tehachapi Pass.
Hazy road out of the San Joaquin Valley
It was a
very uneventful drive, listening to the final two CDs of our
great book on CD. We didn't want the adventure to end, but
it did. (Most happily too.) As we entered the Coachella
Valley the temperature began to climb and climb and climb
until it was 95 degrees when we checked-into our "campsite"
at the
Outdoor Resorts Motorcoach Country Club. We had
prearranged to have our RV washed and just after we had set-up camp - the crew arrived and swarmed over our dirty coach
until she shined like new (six guys - thirty minutes).
