Eight Mile Drive

We drove a whopping eight miles to our next park. All the way from Palm Desert to Indio.


We are now at Indian Waters RV Park. It is a Western Horizons park that we can use through our Resorts of Distinction membership. It's a beautiful park.


But, like many parks now, they have instituted a $3 a night electricity surcharge. It appears that a lot of the parks are going to nickle and dime their members to solve their economic problems.


I don't want sound like I am complaining. It is a beautiful park and very friendly. Where else can we stay for $3 a night!


We did a Walmart and Costco run for a few things and found the post office to mail a letter. Then returned to the park for the 5.5 magnitude earthquake. The motorhome rocked gently and it wasn't the least bit unnerving. There were nine aftershocks within the first hour but we couldn't even feel them. Being a Washingtonian for so long, I am amazed at the number of seismic events in southern California. As long as we don't have "the big one" while we are here, it is quite interesting.
