Palm Springs Area
Thousand Trails-Palm Springs Preserve
We enjoyed two weeks of touring and pickle ball during our stay.
This is a crowded park, but the views are great.
This was a swing and suds afternoon/evening.
Big band music, swing dancing and lessons, and craft beer.
And classic cars-this one is a 1956 Lincoln Mark II,
one of only 3011 custom built. It is not "old" but
classic because we are disheartened that "old" is newer than we are.
Thanks Susan.
Somewhere on El Paseo Drive in Palm Desert.
Street fair/flea market at the College of the Desert.
This was our third visit and we did see some of the same things,
but did a little more exploring too.

At Keys View.

Climbing the walls!
The rocks are full of iron and quite sharp.
Dennis makes it out, Judy's turn to climb.
Skull Rock.
A Mountain Jay heads to our picnic table to see if we left
an morsels as Dennis heads up for a better view.
It was a great place for our packed lunch.

Judy is trying to add another rock to the top of that boulder.
She almost made it, but came closer to hitting
her own head as the rock dropped.
Arch Rock
Nice walk and climb.

Judy is at it again-snake hunting, no luck.
We were touring the Visitor's Center for the

the pass to Menifee, CA for two weeks.
