Moving Day!

Woke up this morning to bright sunshine coming in the windows, knew it was going to be hot, and we left all of our pack up until this morning, so had lots to do!

We were on the road by 9:30 and things were warming up! We only had about a 50 mile drive over to Desert Springs so we were able to take our time.

We lasted 6 days on our holding tanks, so we did very well, however when we left they were right full and this adds a lot of weight to the RV, plus we still had about 1/2 a tank of fresh water. I drained off a good portion of the fresh before we left on the desert floor, so there was probably some happy cactus plants we left back there.... lol....

We got out of the Park on the S22 and hit Hwy. 86. Right on the corner of the two there is a big brand new AM/PM Travel Centre. We pulled in and loaded up $60.00 worth of diesel fuel, (the gauge was on FULL when I started pumping, this was just a top up!) This place also offered FREE RV tank dumping so we drove over and unloaded our tanks! Thanks AM/PM! They also offered free fresh water to refill you tank if you want it! So about 700 lbs lighter, we headed off for Desert Springs...Judy did all the photography today, and here is a shot along Hwy. 86 by the Salton Sea... can you tell by the salt on the highway medium do ya think????

These next two pictures are my favorite shots of the day, love to see the snow capped peaks of the Santa Anna Mountains...

We stopped just about 20 miles from Desert Springs at a large mall, and loaded up on groceries, that were really depleted after being in the desert for a week! Had a nice pizza lunch as a bonus today! We headed out to Desert Springs on a road that boasted 1,000 Palm Trees.... I think they were right....you can see them in the distance on the left...

Here are some more out my window... it was getting real warm after lunch, and you had to have the air turned on high to keep alert...

We got to our Resort which is really a nice one... 8 different hot springs here, but did not go to them today.... Judy took some shots around the Resort as I put up our internet and Star Choice dishes.... we wanted to catch the 2nd. half of the Don Cherry Storey on CBC, "Keep you head up Kid".... we watched the 1st part last night, and we both enjoyed it!

Here I am in the distance working on one of the dishes...

Lots of flowers down by the Club House...

One of the pools at the club house... this Resort has 2 different sections, both with the same facilities... it is big!

These folks knew how to keep cool. Judy and I noted, that today was the first time since we started living in the RV, that we had to have both of our roof air conditioning units working at the same time to keep the RV cool this afternoon.... it got to over 88 deg. F.

Palm Trees, and pools.... lots of ducks as well....

Not sure where she took this shot from, looks like the front entrance area....???.....

Here are some of the park model units, and all the grounds here are well kept...we did run into some people leaving today to go home after being here all winter..... it will soon be our turn to head home.... :-((

Here is a shot of our site, it is quite nice... we parked the Motorcycle trailer around the corner in some overflow parking area, so we don't have to have it on our site... this is a gated community, so all is safe!

Tomorrow we will get out and explore a bit... supposed to be real warm again I think.... looks like Ontario is in for some hot weather soon... here is hoping!

Till tomorrow.....
