Thanksgiving 2010

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Lots of storms in the NW and glad we were in Indio, CA.

We spent the day with friends who spend their winters in this park (Western Horizon-Indian Waters). He likes to cook; I purchased the turkey & he cooked it. He de-boned it, stuffed it with dressing, tied it up and baked it. So delicious. Of course, we had lots of side dishes too.

It has been cooler than normal in Indio, down to high 30's at night and mid-60's during the day. On Thanksgiving day it was about 64 with a bit of wind but the wind died down at eating time so we were able to eat outside. It really made it a special day.

Joshua Tree National Park

It was 95 degrees yesterday so we decided to take our air-conditioned car on a tour through the Joshua Tree National Park. I love our Nat'l Parks. Lots of beauty for sure. It is so close to Desert Hot Springs, where we are staying, and just a few miles north of I-10. We'll be leaving Desert Pools RV Park on 11/13 and traveling about 12 miles to Indio, Indian Waters RV Park. Both parks are Western Horizon Resort membership parks.

Here are a couple of photos: The Joshua tree in front of popular rock used for rock climbing, the Cholla cactus, a vew from 5185 ft. elev., Keys View, Mary posing for photo.
