Police Incident

We've never gotten lost or twisted around so many times as we have on this trip. Today we decided to drive into Palm Springs and check out the Thousand Trails park there. I was very well prepared with at least 4 maps and anything else you could think of....no way were we going to get messed up today...famous last words!! We were going along nicely when the road had been blocked off, went around the block and ended up in the same place...talked to the lady manning the road block and she told us the road was closed due to a police incident. OKAY! I didn't realize she was a police officer. She told us how to go around the block and get back on the highway we needed, but we had to go past WalMart so stopped in. A couple of the clerks were in the washroom talking about the bomb threat at Lowes...yikes...what kind of town are we in???

Got to Palm Springs T.T. park and looked around. On the way we passed thousands upon thousands of wind generators...looked kinda neat spread out over the mountain tops. Drove on Sonny Bono Memorial Hwy and saw Gene Autry Road. There were a lot of cainos along the highway but we restrained ourselves and never stopped at any. Anyway, had a great day.
