Palm Springs

On Sunday we decided to take advantage of the driving range on the 9-hole golf course and hit a couple of buckets of balls before we pulled up camp and moved. During one walk around the resort we saw that someone named Lindstrom also was staying here and during a visit with the golf pro I found out that he was a minister who led services at the resort. So as we were leaving the driving range I ran into the minister and asked if he was Rev. Lindstrom. When I told him our name was Lindstrom, you would have thought we were long lost cousins! Just kidding but we did have an interesting conversation. His parents, as well as John's grandparents were from Rockford, IL. Lots of coincidences but no relation.

We moved down to Lake Cahuilla County Park and then drove back to our friend's RV resort in Cathedral City for supper. Had a great evening.

Monday we went back to Cathedral City (a 45 min. drive) and a friend of our friend gave us haircuts. Then we went for a hike in Palm Canyon and had supper at "Babe's", a restaurant that has everything pig to eat -- just what John loves!

Tuesday (today) we hiked up the hills near the campground and then played golf at Desert Dunes C.C. It was an absolutely gorgeous day! Perfect temp. of 83°, little wind and clear blue skies! We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.
