{π = 3.14} So March 14 is 3/14 - get it??
We got a lot of things accomplished today such as doing the laundry, shopping at the Farmer’s Market, dumping the tanks, getting fresh water and moving the RV to a new site. Granted, the move was only 100 feet up the hill but John thinks its a much better site.

Since we bought a day pass at the State Park so that we could dump our tanks there, I thought it would be nice to hike up Palm Canyon again and see if much had changed since we hiked it two years ago. And the answer is ‘Yes’ there were some changes. Remember the storm I mentioned in yesterday’s blog? It washed out this canyon too. The rock climbing part was better marked but the palm grove was blocked off to give new palms a chance to grow. There were also many more downed palm trees and brush piles. An alternate route was available for our hike back down so we took it. It traversed the side of the mountain to the far side of the canyon before dropping down into a wash and back to the parking lot. We estimate it to be a 4-5 mile round trip hike.
From a distance these mountains look like an easy walk over dirt and sand with some big rocks but that is not the case at all! They are encrusted with many rocks of all sizes and textures, mostly rough! Then sprinkle in cacti, scrub bushes and boulders. Put all together, they make for a very rough walk.
