We have been sitting around too much in casino parking lots in the dusty desert so after lunch today we decided to drive to the coast. 

Here we are driving through Indian Wells towards the mountains.  All the palm trees are just beautiful here.  This looks to be a pretty upscale area. This is scenic highway 74 going towards the San Bernardino National Forest.  We took little roads all the way to Escondido and beyond.

We didn’t see another motor home on these roads even though the driving was relatively easy except for California drivers who are very impatient and like to tailgate.  They drive much like the Europeans so Steve is constantly pulling over to let them go by.  After a few days of breathing some better air we’ll drive to Quartzsite where we are meeting a friend on the 19th and then the rally starts the 21st.
