And The ADVENTURE Continues...: March 28, 2016 Trip to Salton Sea and March 31, 2016 Trip into Los Angeles.

Monday, March 28, 2016 Trip to Salton Sea

Hello Everyone. As you can tell there hasn’t been a post in quite awhile. We are just chilling till we go to a Southwest Regional Rally in Emerald Desert, CA. and the internet hasn't been the greatest. The first place we stayed at had absolutely nothing to see and the closest Walmart was 50 miles away. Mike wanted Pat to see Quartzsite, AZ so we stayed 25 miles away in Ehrenburg, AZ at Arizona Oasis RV Resort right on the Colorado River. It was a Coast to Coast park that cost us $10 a night. We stayed here for 6 days so I worked on a quilt, yes ladies I am trying to make a quilt by hand. I try to do 1 flower each week. I find it very relaxing. We then went a couple of hours west to Two Springs RV Resort in North Palm Springs. This is another very nice Coast to Coast Resort . This one was $15 a night and we stayed here for a week. We are really getting our money’s worth with our Coast to Coast membership.

While in the Palm Springs area we drove completely around Salton Sea. It is located in the California Desert. It is 35 miles long and 15 miles wide. It is also saltier than the ocean. It was formed by the Colorado River back in the early 1900 and is known for its great fishing. Bird watching is famous too! As we drove around the Sea we also stopped off at Salvation Mountain/Slab City. It was very unique. Leonard Knight built this mountain out of adobe and paint getting Jesus’ word out to as many people as he could. There are verses and sayings all around this mountain. As for Slab City well it is not owned by anybody and you can live off the earth for FREE! I have never heard of either one of these places but that is what this trip is all about. A bit of history for everyone.

I (Pat) have a 2^nd cousin who lives here so we did go out to dinner and have a short visit with her. We ate at Al Dente Italian Restaurant in the famous Village of Palm Springs.

Thursday, March 31, 2016 Trip into Los Angeles.

We drove 2 hours to go into the city and do some of the touristy things like see Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, walk on Hollywood Blvd and see some of the stars on the Walk of Fame, Hard Rock Café and drove up Mulholland Drive to see the famous Hollywood sign. I (Pat) also wanted to stop by the Forest Lawn Cemetery to get some pictures of my relatives for my family history research that I am always working on.
