Almost Home

We're on our way home from California and Arizona. This has been an interesting trip. After dancing for 4 days in Indio, California, we drove to the Fountain of Youth RV Park and Spa down on the Salton Sea. The park was the friendliest park we have ever been in.

We went with 3 other square dance couples - two from Oregon and one from Washington state. One of the couples from Oregon - Loyce and Wendell Mann were familiar with the spa as her mother-in-law used to live in the park. We stayed for 4 days. We square danced to Johnnie Preston on Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening. We played shuffleboard, went in the spa's, had $2.00 tacos at the local VFW, had pizza at the park's karoke night, and just generally enjoyed ourselves.

But,all too soon it was time to head for home. We decided to detour through Death Valley as we had never been there. We wish we had had more time to explore the park, but now we know we would like to go back. We did a hike through Mosaic Canyon. It was very windy, except for when we did the hike. Otherwise, we might have stayed another day.

Our drive north has been good, but cold and snowy in some places. Highway 95 which we have mainly driven is a great road. We're now on I-84 near Baker City and plan to be home today.
