Bright sunny day so Bob & Truda, Gordon and I drove to Borrego. Lots of Ocotillo cactus which we don't have as plentiful in Quartzsite. Landscape changes so quickly, from mountainous, to sandy, to green productive land. Stopped for ice cream then drove around the other side of Salton Sea and stopped at Sonny Bono State Park for directions to mud pots.
I found the mud pots very interesting as had never seen anything like them before. We went for Mexican food for supper. Gord didn't have a good experience and said he wouldn't try that again.

ReplyDeleteRain, Rain and more rain. Gord & I went to the Palm Springs Air Museum. The drive there was very hairy what with the rain and fog, and the big trucks spraying water from the highway. We missed the sign and travelled 30 miles more, ending up in Banning and snow. Did we come to southern California for rain and snow?
The museum was very interesting. They had a 25 minute movie on the women pilots of the WASP during WWII. That was enlightening. We had the GPS on to get back home, but the Highway was flooded and the girl on the GPS kept telling us to go around the block and get back on the highway so we took a very dark and wet tour of west Palm Springs. Ate supper at the Mall then to Walmart and home. Truda and I watched the movie Cleopatra until 1:30 am.
