There's a Coach Connect park in Indio and we are scheduled to give our WiFi seminar here today. We originally planned to make it a short trip over and back from Quartzsite, but then we were invited to join Dick and Frankie on a visit to friends in Yuma - so we're making a circle out of it. I hate to retrace my steps - this is so much more appealing.


We passed very close to the Mexico border, lots of people crossing over to buy their meds and go to the dentist!



We also passed by the Imperial Dunes. Now *there's* some desert sand! The little black dots you see are people on their dune buggies. This is BLM land all around so you see thousands of RVs parked in this desert too.



And, we passed by the Salton Sea. Not particularly picturesque on this drizzly day, but interesting nonetheless. It is the largest lake in California - bigger than lake Tahoe or Mono Lake. And, it's saltier than the ocean - making it the fastest lake to boat in because of the increased buoyancy.



Now we're in Indio - near Palm Springs, playground of the rich and famous. That's not us - we won't be staying long. :-)

Actually, I know of at least one (waterfront) lot at ORMCCC that sold in Spring, 2006 for $499,000.!!!
