Our last trip this year to Desert Pools!


Mar 19-Apr 1... On the 19th we made our last trek to Indian Waters. The site we reserved by the pond was taken so they put us in site 206 on the east wall. Dixie continued Fran's work. 
Tue/Wed we checked out a place for Doug and Fran to stay. We determined the Riverside County fairgrounds (about a half mile away) was the best deal at $20 a night for full hookups. They pretty much had the place to themselves. 
On Wed. we went over there to cehck it out and find out where to park and pay.
On Fri. the 23rd Bob and Cheryl came over to check out Indian Waters and go out for pizza. Cheryl and Dixie did a little shopping first and then we were headed to Rosati's...Bob and Mike went there first but found out that they didn't serve beer so we had to go to plan B...we ended up at Good Stuff pizza! 
On Sat. Doug and Fran arrived about 130p. We met them outside our park and went with them to the fairgrounds. Danny came over on his motorcycle and Doug and him rode to Pioneertown , with the rest of us following in the car. We had a great dinner at Pappy and Harriet's and listened to the band! 
Sun. Dixie and Fran grocery shopped and Doug and Danny went on a motorcycle ride. Mike hung out at the mh.  The wind blew bad but it did go down some so Doug was able to cook our wings outside. Dixie gave Danny a much needed haircut.
On Monday, Dixie and Fran worked.  Dixie made split pea soup which we all had for lunch.
Tues. Doug and Fran came over to do their laundry and do a little 'pool' time. Doug and Fran cooked some ribs at our mh. Danny and Lexi came over. 
Wed. I cut Doug and Fran's hair and colored mine and hers. The work mail came so Fran and Dixie worked some more. Fran cooked a great chicken dish for dinner! 
On Thur. the 29th Doug, Fran and Dixie drove to Cabazon and met Aunt Marge for lunch and some shopping. Dixie used her Birthday money from Dad and got a great buy on a light weight leather jacket. We lunched at Ruby's Inn. On the return trip we took the first exit to Palm Springs and makd the trek all the way on Hwy 111. Mike golfed with Bill, Gloria and several from their park. We all met back at the motorhome and then met Danny and Lexi at Rockin Baja in La Quinta. 
Friday Dixie stayed busy doing 7 haircuts.  Doug and Fran rode their bikes to Julian and returned via Borongo Springs.  We intended to meet at the Jackalope Ranch for Happy Hour but it was packed so we headed down the road to Neils for pizza and wings! 
Sat. Doug and Fran came over in the afternoon and we went to the pool. We then went to D & F for cocktails and then a wonderful dinner at Chef George on Washington and I10. 
Sunday Doug and Fran left for their trip home. We will miss hanging out with them. We are talking about doing some traveling together next year! Dixie went to church in the park. Then it was grocery shopping at WinCo and laundry back at the park. We spent a quite evening at home!!! Tomorrow we head back to Desert Hot Springs for our last 2 weeks in the valley.
