Chillin in chilly Palm Springs

Started my holiday with the first rain I've seen since arriving. The trip began with a drive to Palm Springs via the mountains. Got over 4000ft and there was snow about. Also went through three Indian reservations. One had a massive new casino and hotel. Although the locals dwellings in the area are not as fancy. After travelling in the cold high desert, it was time to descend a steep winding road to the low desert. Not far down was a great look out. From there you could see more snow topped mountains, Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Once on the desert floor proper, I went to the local aircraft museum. Many of the aircraft are air worthy or are worth restoring in time.
At the end I had a good chat with a volunteer who oversees their flight simulators. Everyone else was crashing, I was showing off. Helps to know what you are doing. A good day ended on a bad note, I tripped in the car park and have pulled a hammy and left some skin there. I can hobble, hopefully a rest tonight and its better. I don't have any walks planned for a few days. Palm Springs airport has lots of bizjets and fancy houses and cars. It is also very windy and cold right now.Read more
