Indio, California

Feb 26     Laughlin, Nevada - Indio, California        200 miles     4 hours 15 minutes

It was very cold when we left Laughlin this morning, around 35 degrees at 7am. We topped off the gas in Bullhead City, Arizona and headed to Southern  California. The roads were real good and so was the weather. We made good time and got there around 12pm.

We checked in at Indian Waters RV Resort in Indio. Very nice resort but kind of expensive. For 3 nights we paid $199. That's with the 15% FMCA discount. About $66 per night. Pretty nice park and they have some activities that we might participate in.
The bathrooms are nice

I went to a yoga class this morning, was real good. After that we walked around the whole resort and checked everything out.

We drove around the area and found Trader Joe's and Sprouts. I love shopping at both markets.

This morning we both went to the water aerobics class. Was pretty good, lots of old futs!

Just finished our water exercise class









For lunch we drove to Shields Date Farm. The restaurant is real good and Joe tried a date shake. He liked it, I thought it was very sweet. After lunch, we watched an old movie about Mr Shields and the start of the date industry in the valley, very interesting. Then we walked through the gardens which was very relaxing.



















Mar 01      Indian Waters RV Park - Fantasy Springs Casino      3 miles     10 minutes

I went to a yoga class this morning which I really enjoyed. I think I'm taking up yoga when we go home. Afterwards, we moved up the road a few miles to Fantasy Springs Casino. It's dry camping at a gravel lot. There's a lot of RV's here and it's free. We're staying just one night.

We entered the blackjack tournament at the casino. Buy in was $25, 90 people playing. I got out on the first round but Joe made it to the second round. Then we went to dinner at the buffet they have at the casino. Kind of small, $19 per person, and excellent food. I wouldn't mind eating here again. We ended up gambling a little on the machines and made a little bit.
