Friday & Saturday, January 13th & 14th -

 Friday - We didn't do much. Just enjoyed being where it is relatively warm. Kathy spent a LONG time enjoying one of the heated pools.

Saturday - Kathy had seen an ad for a Farmer's Market that was about a 15 minute drive from us. We left with  intentions of checking out the Farmer's Market and then heading back out to Sam Cobb's Date Farm to buy some more dates, and enjoy the scenery during the drive. 

For some reason there was no Farmer's Market today. No signs, just an empty parking lot, so it was on to Sam Cobb's. It was cloudy but the scenery was still very enjoyable.

The Mc Callum Trailhead into the Coachella Valley Preserve is an area similar to the photo below. Hiking only, no motorized vehicles are allowed. When we drove by the trailhead at 10AM there were 39 cars parked along the sides of the road, apparently all people who had headed off into the desert. 

This is kind of a high point, elevation, for the area. The area is called Sky Valley. There is a small subdivision and an RV resort that you don't even notice driving by. 

There are also some low income properties in the area, but they do have some high dollar views.

Below is a blow up  of the above photo. Notice the clouds that are trying get to this side of the mountain.

Enlarged more. It almost looked like someone had put down a mat of cotton on tope of the mountain.

We were back home by noon. Mike and Tillie, the  neighbors who are parked in the site next to us, and who are from Branson, MO, bought us lunch at the clubhouse. Bill, the guy who loaned me the handsaw when we first arrived, cooks hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch on Saturdays. I think the cost for for a big hot dog is $2 and a nice size hamburger is $3. They had macaroni salad for a side and lots of fixins to put on your hot dog or hamburger. Both the hot dogs and the hamburgers were good. It started sprinkling just as we walked over to the clubhouse, it hasn't stopped. My Weatherbug app says that after 11 hours we have received 0.33" of rain. If anything I'd guess that was high.

We set outside, under our awning, for awhile during the afternoon but with the rain/damp it was a little cool. We both ended up coming in and taking naps.

God is good. I  pray that He blesses you and yours.
