We pulled up stakes and left Palm Desert yesterday. We had an awesome time visiting with family, spent many evenings enjoying the mineral water in the hot tubs, and managed to get a few chores done. Our main purpose when we are in Palm Desert is to visit with hubby’s cousins but hubby always likes to wash Maxx when we are there because the water is so good, but something has changed and the water is now terrible! He did wash the truck and half of Maxx but will have to do it all again 😦
On our way down Highway 86 just before Borrego Springs we noticed the semi we were following was all over the road. Just as I was picking up my phone to call it in the semi rear-ended the car in front of him and he just happen to do it behind a police officer sitting in his vehicle on the side of the road. Hubby had been debating whether to pass the semi but didn’t feel like it would be safe to do so … good decision as that would have been Maxx he rear-ended! Fortunately nobody was hurt, but both the car and semi sustained a lot of damage. Two nights ago hubby and I were driving back from Morena Valley when we saw a cloud of dust up ahead and it turned out a semi had gone off the road in the other lane and hit the rock wall. We were also stopped on I-10, on our way out to Morena Valley, for over an hour because of something happening on the interstate … hopefully that was our three, because you know the saying, things come in threes!
We are settled into our site in Yuma for three months and looking forward to catching up with our winter friends 🙂
Until next time …

We are at Yuma Lakes RV Resort, a Colorado River Adventures resort. We are going to El Golfo RV Resort in El Golfo de Santa Clara in Mexico, also a Colorado River Adventures resort. We went to El Golfo for two weeks last winter and stayed two and a half months. Going back for about 4 months this winter. Friendliest Park we have ever been in.

Wow. Those semis can be scary. I’m glad no one was hurt in the crash although I can only imagine what the officer was thinking.

It was pretty funny that it happened right beside a police officer 🙂
