PALM SPRINGS MNTS.-SALTON SEA-DATE PALMS






Went for a ride down to the Salton Sea. It is an almost "dead' sea with no fishermen except white pelicans. It is a very poor area with some vegetable farming and lots of date palm trees.


The mountains in pic are the view to the west of Palm Springs. Mountains are in EVERY direction; some higher than others.


We will be here in the 95 degree weather until Friday. We will be in Joshua Tree at Aunt Ilah's; where the temp. is 10 degrees cooler. The lack of humidity plays a bigger part in comfort than you would think.


Bye for now.
