We have hiked some of the trails around the Palm Springs area, including in the Thousand Palms Oasis. We hiked the South Lykken trail instead of the north. We also found some great little buys at the Village Fest, although did not enjoy fighting the crowds. I am looking forward to your Death Valley photos.

But oh my, was it hot. Beautiful photos!

And who wouldn't enjoy T&L! (BTW, we too, are astounded by the energy of some of our elders at JJH.) Good to see the tips about Palm Springs, and you actually braved Hwy 74! Isn't that feat of engineering?! Looking forward to our next in-person encounter, meantime, enjoying your posts.Frederikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063542830381196388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-46324069584369176602016-03-08T08:59:23.379-08:002016-03-08T08:59:23.379-08:00The lake is so unattractive at Cahuilla, I'm g...The lake is so unattractive at Cahuilla, I'm glad to see there is a reasonably priced park in that area - love that you can pick your own site! Wonderful pics of the oasis and flowers and lizards. Still so cold in NM that we're not seeing any color or critters (just bunnies). The contrast between the big city and the wild desert is amazing.Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-63813446493581287352016-03-08T07:18:56.354-08:002016-03-08T07:18:56.354-08:00Thanks for the info on Catalina Spa and RV Resort....Thanks for the info on Catalina Spa and RV Resort.

Ah - those were the days when the famous appreciated those who made them famous.<br /><br />Any hike in the 'Indian Canyons' is worth the time, also a short hike from the Tahquitz Visitor Center thru the old commune site to the waterfall and filming locations of Lost Horizon I can recommend both :) Jeff Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254493317843044109noreply@blogger.com
