Today all the wind was blown out and it turned into a nice day. We started the day with a 1/2 hour mineral hot spring dip, "perfect"....
We made up our picnic lunch and headed out on the bikes... we had a couple things in mind... we wanted to drive around Palm Springs, and then go and check out a potential RV Resort for next winter....
We drove right up the main street of Palm Springs, which is about 8 miles or so from where we are staying. It is real neat and lots of shops to give your money to! We stopped at the tourist information booth to get hiking information, and out of the blue, we decided to take the "Palm Springs Aerial Tramway".
This is a very large tourist trap here in Palm Springs, and we were right beside the Tram at the Visitor's Centre, so away we went.
By the way, it is called Palm Springs for a reason... a lot of the streets look like this... very nice.
This is a view from near the top... you can see for miles... you can see the Salton Sea and all of the Palm Springs Valley area... look at the very bottom of this picture and you will see some of the huge windmill farm located north of Palm Springs... hundreds of them....
Just a great adventure today, we really enjoyed it! Made it down in time to drive back home and watch my Leaf's beat Buffalo.... YA! and then made our way up the mineral hot springs and talked to a great couple from Red Deer Alberta, down on a holiday.
Till tomorrow....
