We are staying at Lake Cahilla (ka-whee-ah) Regional Park where we have stayed several times before. It’s generally a quiet place where families come to enjoy the day, fish, swim or camp. When John arrived on Saturday morning it was at the conclusion of a color run so hundred’s of cars were leaving the parking area. Not the quiet area he was expecting. I was grocery shopping, so I missed all the excitement.
Our friends, Mike and Diane, live in LaQuinta and opened their home to us. We had dinner with them on Saturday night but they were out of town on Sunday. So when I say opened their home, I mean we spent most of Sunday afternoon in their home taking advantage of the shower, laundry, wi-fi and their big screen TV to watch the Super Bowl game while they were away.
We rode our bikes 18 miles around this area on Monday. Next door to the park is a very upscale housing development surrounding a very exclusive golf course. On the off chance we might get inside the gate, we rode our bikes past the guard house and, lo and behold, she opened the gate and waved us in! We have seen parts of The Quarry Golf Course on some of our hikes from the park but this was much better! The homes were more mansion than house and some were very modern, with sharp angles and glass while others had numerous towers, patios and water features. Everywhere we saw the golf course it was perfectly manicured, lush and green. Mike was very envious as he has never gotten past the guard house.
Today we played golf with Mike and his friend, Ray, at The Golf Club of LaQuinta. It was a warm, sunny day, with just a slight breeze and the course was beautiful. We both did better than the last two times we played. Just goes to prove that we need to play more often to improve our games.
