Day 25 - Feb 2 - Twentynine Palms

Woke up this morning to a nice warm day in Twentynine Palms. Did all our domestic stuff, and then left for Indio to visit Leroy and Gayleen. Travelled west on highway 62, through Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, and Morongo Valley on the way to Interstate I-10, then 20 miles east to Sun City, Palm Desert, where they live. Passed through Palm Springs where thousands of Wind

Turbines are covering every square acre of useable land - just row apon row of them. Turned of I-10 at Washington, and drove into Sun City. Pretty Classy Layout !!! Had to pass through security. Questionable that they would allow a couple of Canadian Riff-Raff in, but once through found a very luxurious place. Leroy tells me that there are 5000 homes, 9000 people, 36 holes of golf, and 3 clubhouses, each with a large array of club services. I commented to Denice that they shouldn't really mind if I just brought ELTORO in and parked somewhere just off to the side on one of those big Grass Meadows, that seem fairly common in the area!! Oh, I guess the call those Meadows, Fairways down here, but sure would make a great RV Park!! Anyway, had a great visit with my bother and wife. Gayleen was away when we got there, doing that Golfing thing. She said she had a fairly good day, and I know what that means. A fair day for her would be an exceptional round for most people! Good for you Gayleen!! They showed us around their

new "Digs". Pretty Uptown!! Took us over to one of the clubhouses and treated us to a great Lunch. Denice had a chicken ceasar salad, and I had an Italian Sub, that the owner said I would not be able to finish. Well I almost did, except for the bun! A jug of Beer topped it off. This was at 2:00PM and then Gayleen wanted to make dinner when we got back to their place, but we just

had to turn that down and headed back to Twentynine Palms by 5:30PM, arriving at ELTORO by 7:00PM. Another GREAT Day !!
