Picking grapefruit, an inch of rain and snow on the mountains

Palm Springs RV Resort

Palm Desert, California

In the park there are many grapefruit trees that have the remains of this last years harvest. The Gatehouse has picker that is available for loan to collect delicious fruit. Michael was able to get some pink grapefruit for my breakfasts.

Learning how to use the picker

Almost got one

There they are, right at the top

Ahh! got one!

A LOT of rain fell over the San Diego area and we got the overflow. An inch of rain in our area overnight. This morning we had the evidence in lots of puddles and snow on the nearby mountains. There are still a lot of clouds pouring over the mountains but I am confident that once those clouds clear we will have a spectacular view of the mountain peaks.

We spent a quiet day at home sitting in the warm sunshine reading our books and generally chilling out.  

Lots of RVs coming in today because the rain in the west has flooded several parks. Travellers have been redirected here. We are now almost full. 

That is Mt San Jacinto peaking out at the top.

Thanks for following along and don't be shy to leave a comment.

Palm Springs, wonderful views and snow on the mountains.

Our drive from Needles to Palm Desert was very easy and interesting with some wonderful scenery.

After continuing our travelling through the Mojave desert, we stopped at the intersection of US62 and US177 to take in the views, stretch our legs and let Timmy go potty. Absolutely spectacular! We were just outside Joshua Tree National Park.

The mountains in this area are amazing.

Pretty soon we were pulling up to the gate at Thousand Trails Palm Springs Resort. There were not many sites available but we did manage to get a pull through 30 amp site. It is close to the front of the park which means we get quite a lot of I-10 traffic and train line noise but it is not too bad. We are close to the pool and Rec center which is very convenient. This is our first time in this resort and we know where we will look for a site the next time we come here.

Here are some pics taken around the campground. Lots of Palm trees. 

Our site is #121. 

Water volley ball in the pool every day at 12:00

Our trailer just to the left of the fence

Outside the resort there is a big empty field where everyone walks their dogs. Lots of room for off leash play.

Snow on the top of Mount San Jacinto.
