THE DESERT IN WINTER

Last week Glen and I went camping with friends in the desert around Palm Springs.  We were actually in La Quinta just a few miles from Palm Springs, and camped at Lake Cahuilla.  It's a man made lake set up against the foothills and surrounded by beautiful Santa Rosa Mountains.  It was so quiet and peaceful and in the evening the big attraction was sitting in our chairs with our drinks of choice and watching the moon rise - LOL.  It was really awesome though because it was full and rising up over the desert makes it really look huge!  During the day the shadows on the mountains were beautiful as well.  Average temperature during the day was in the high 70's.  The things to do there are fishing and horseback riding.  Neither one of those things are on Glen and I's list of talents so we just vegged.  Our friends did a little fishing but with no success, and the horse camp didn't have a horse in it.  But all in all it was a great trip.  Next trip Vegas on the 31st of this month.  Woo Hoo!
