Would you like Salt on your Sea Sir?

Today was another great day in California... sunny and warm, just the way we like it!

We decided to go for a bike ride this morning, and due to the fact we have been getting up earlier each day here, around 7:00 a.m. we were on the road at 9:00 . We headed north up to a place called Palm Slot Canyon, to check out and see if we could find the Palm Trees... well, we couldn't... maybe next time. It is a great spot to visit though... here are some pics... it is a long way down....

This canyon is just off the highway! (S22) A great spot to visit... only about 5 klms from where we are currently staying...

Judy got me to pose with this Octillo which was in full bloom...


Life on the edge....

We looked for Palm Trees down there.... but.....
I did find a few old car tires down there.... people.....
We call this a rock scramble....

Nothing like spring flowers and a 300 foot drop to go together!

We carried on out to the edge of the park, and found some great vistas.... This area you are allowed to take your ATV, or jeep, or dirt bike and let her go!

You could see for miles....

One big playground... all these people are playing with their sand toys....

You can see the trails go up the canyons... very cool area...

It is about a 400 foot drop, right behind me.... no reverse please....

We left the sand pit, and headed up the S22 to the Salton Sea! There is a Town there, and it is very depressed. They have lots of land ready for development that never happened...

The Salton Sea is big, and was created when the Colorado River overflowed it's banks, and flooded the Salton Basin... the sea remained. The ruins beside me are an old marina or something....

This is a bit of a dry bed at the salton sea... we stopped here for lunch.

A bunch of birds on that break wall out there. We drove by the Salton Sea with the Morrisons back in January.

Found some pelicans on the break wall as well....

I had to be quick with my trigger finger, but I did it!

We were back to our RV by 1:00 p.m. It was getting hot and is now real hot at about 4:00 p.m. I have set up our Star Choice Dish to watch my beloved Leafs play the Rangers tonight! Go Leafs Go!

Judy worked hard on the internet this afternoon, and we have decided to go to a place called Desert Springs in California. It has over 8 hot springs, so it is time to relax and then we we start the long ride home! We will stay there a week.

Till tomorrow!
