Catalina Spa -December 14 ,2009

Back at Cat Spa and catching up with everyone. Walks in the desert, biking, swimming, etc. It cann't get any better than this.

Slab City, California, December 6 - 10, 2009

We headed to Slab City and Salvation Mountain as suggested by Jeanette and another couple we met at Pilot Knob when we were there. We took in Salvation Mountain, man made by an elderly guy who moved there 20 or so years ago and has never left. We spent four days at this unique place as seen in the pictures before moving on to Salton Sea.

Salton Sea, December 10.2009

Out of the desert at Slab City and off to Salton Sea. We stayed at the Salton Sea State Park right on the sea. The visitor center gave us a good history of the sea and information about the sea life and minerals in the sea. We managed to wash the motorhome and car at the boat wash before moving on to Cathredal Palms in Cathredal City for a few days before Cat Spa on December 14. While at the Sea we went and checked out The Fountain of Youth RV Park, the Bashford RV Park and Sonny Bono Wilflife Refuge.

El Centro, California - December 3 - 6,2009

Off to El Centro and Rio Bend RV Park so Denis can get in some golfing. What is in El Centro you ask? well nothing! The park is nice but we are told that the manager doesn't like Canadians and the golf course isn't the greatest. Skip it the next time. We went to the Marine Base and were told that Canadians (retired service people) can use the RV park on the base if you get a pass to go on the base and you can only get it on week days. It could be very noisy as planes are coming and going all day, although they stop at night. We did manage to find Wally Mart, Costco , J. C. Penny's, Target, etc. so it wasn't a complete waste of time. Ha!

The Desert at Pilot Knob - Nov 30 - December 3, 2009

We decided to experience the thrill of the desert again for a few days. Surprise, we meet a couple from Wells, B.C. just up the road from Quesnel and found out he was the one who did my railings for the front steps of our house. Small world! We finished our Christmas shopping and got the parcels off to the kids while we were there. I did manage a few walks in the Desert so I can keep up with Linda and Shirley when we get to Cat Spa.
