Palma Springs

So, this weekend we got away. We headed out to the desert for some 80 degree temps and off-roading. We took the geology tour road through Joshua Tree.
I took tons of photos of rock formations and the vast expanse full of Joshua trees. They are so strange. The weather was perfect...not too hot and not too chilly. We spent most of the day off-road navigating the rocks. The trucks got a bit dirty as well:
After being on the road all day we stayed in Palm Springs. We got in after sunset and came to the Doral Resort (located in Cathedral City) which is where we had our reservation. The resort had overbooked themselves so they sent us over to the Holiday Inn in Palm Springs and paid for our stay. It was nice since the hotel was newly renovated and their pool was awesome and just the thing I needed in the morning.....pool and two HOT TUBS. :) So, I got to swim and gaze out at the snow topped mountains.
Overall a fabulous weekend, even though the truck now needs some welding work done on the front shocks. Somewhere off-road the front left shock just tore off it's bolt. We were able to drive back with it dangling with no problem. We stopped at the Outlet stores in Cabazon which I now notice are not really a good deal at all...in fact most of their prices were retail.
