Palm Springs 7.23.08

On the road again….just can’t wait to get on the road again…seeing places that I’ll never see again….I can’t wait to get on the road again. We left Vegas and are heading to Palm Springs (another HOT stop) to visit Michael’s family. As we’re on the road, we’re playing the familiar ‘Name that Rental RV’ game…screaming out “CRUISEAMERICA”, “EL MONTE RV”, “ROADBEARRV” or “TRIPLEARENTAL”. And just for the hell of it “UHAUL” if we see one too. We’ve been amazed at the number of rental RV’s we’ve seen this trip. They must be doing a good business. And waving at all the other Jeep owners. See, it’s a responsibility of all Jeep owners to wave at other Jeep owners. Have you heard of this?! Here’s a good website on it… http://www.jeeptalk.org/jeep_wave.php There’s an entire scoring area that just boggles my mind but being jeep owners, we do our best to acknowledge other owners on the road.

Of course when you’re driving through the desert, there’s bound to be oddities you have a hard time explaining….one was a random tree with what looked like hundreds of shoes tied to it! Weird...

We're staying with Michael's Mom and will visit with his Dad & sister/brother-in-law. We're always excited to see our niece & nephew Gracie & Nolan. We'll spend a few days here begin the journey back to Port Hueneme.
