Sunday 6/10/2018    The campground we are staying at is nearly empty and now I know why.  This area is very hot this time of the year and also extremely windy.  Since Desert Hot Springs is located in a low valley it's about 10 to 15 degrees hotter than where we were two days ago.  We survived two weeks at Hidden Passage Guest Ranch without air conditioning but I don't think we could have done it here. The campground itself is pretty nice but it's too far from Palm Springs and Joshua Tree. It's surrounded by miles of desert wasteland.  Palm Springs is about  25 minutes away and you have to drive through a huge wind farm where you feel like you're being blown off the road.  To get to any of the main Joshua Tree National Park's entrances takes about an hour. 

We spent the morning inside the trailer cleaning. Because we didn't have air conditioning at Danny's workshop we had most of our windows open and we were running a couple of fans. Everything inside got very dirty and dusty. We had to wipe down the all the woodwork, sweep the carpet and wash the floors. Around noon we drove into Palm Springs to do some shopping and get lunch.  Then we just returned to the trailer and relaxed until it was a little cooler so we could drive into downtown Palm Springs and walk around.  It's basically a main boulevard of high priced shops and restaurants but it was a nice walk.  We also walked to an apartment that Wendy house sat for a while when she was living in California.  It was a nice little apartment building and looked like it had a nice flower garden but we couldn't get a good look from the sidewalk.  We walked back into the neighborhood further and there were very many expensive beautiful homes.  We walked most of the boulevard up and down until about an hour after dark and then headed back to the truck to drive back to Desert Hot Springs.
