Crazy Winds and Oasis Palms


The wild and wicked winds continued all night and into this morning. It made for a sleepless night and we both decided enough was enough. We packed up the coach and left our boondocking site.

We called around and found that the Oasis Palms RV Park near the Salton Sea had openings at a reasonable price and they accept the Good Sam card for a discount. So, we checked the map and planned a route through Box Canyon instead of backtracking on I-10. What a smart choice! The road is two lane and narrow in places but what views. The road winds through fantastic rock formations and mountains. We even found several places that we would consider for boondocking. Quite a few off road vehicles enjoying the day also.


We arrived 30 miles later at the Oasis Palms and found a nice pull through site for a couple of nights. It's a very friendly park and covered with citrus trees. We took a ride around the park and picked grapefruit, oranges and lemons right from the car. We are welcome to take all that we want. Mmmmmm.



Here is the lemon tree just outside the door. All of the trees are loaded with fruit and nobody uses it.



We also have a nice little lake (pond) for our view from the front window. What a rough life.

We will use the next couple of days to catch up on laundry and cleaning. Then on Tuesday, we will meet with an Alpine Coach group and caravan to the FMCA rally in Indio. Sure are looking forward to seeing some old friends.
