Outdoor Resorts Motorcoach Country Club

Wednesday | 25 April 2007 | Indio, California:  It was 73 degrees this morning when I went outside to warm-up the Honda CRV in preparation for towing. Seventy-three degrees! Seventy-three degrees! We were so excited. And, as if someone had rang a bell - at 9 am all the motorhomes in our row were preparing to hit the highway for another day of adventure on the road. Tow cars were warming up, slide rooms were being retracted, good-old-boys were comparing horse power with their neighbors. Ah, the sweet smell of diesel.

We headed towards Palm Springs on Highway 58 - finally being repaved - through grape fields (for grapes and raisins, not wine), chili fields and acres and acres of citrus. Sprinkled among all this agriculture are the occasional oil rig; heads bobbing up and down, looking like steel dinosaurs dining on the earth. The air was heavy and traffic was terrible due to the paving activity as we headed up the Tehachapi Pass.

It was a very uneventful drive, listening to the final two CDs of our great book on CD. We didn't want the adventure to end, but it did. (Most happily too.) As we entered the Coachella Valley the temperature began to climb and climb and climb until it was 95 degrees when we checked-into our "campsite" at the Outdoor Resorts Motorcoach Country Club. We had prearranged to have our RV washed and just after we had set-up camp - the crew arrived and swarmed over our dirty coach until she shined like new (six guys - thirty minutes).
