Todays lesson is on wind mills for electricity. As we were going in to town a new way, we discovered we could get up close (sort of) to them, so you could see how big they are. There was an article in the paper that said they cost 12 million each and it takes 10 years for them to pay for themselves. There is a tour that explores all of this and I think we will try to take it before we leave.
This is going west towards Desert Hot Springs .......
Now this is to the left. Isn't it amazing? I can't decided if they are a blight on the land or not. Once they come into your view you can hardly take your eyes off them. They are just so fascinating to look at to think they are saving coal and oil.
We have been at this park for a week and will move back to TT park on Tuesday. We have been fortunate that we have played pickleball about every day. The sites are divided by Japonaca bushes, which helps when the wind blows and a big windrow of trees in the back. These trees just thrive here and grow really big, they are in the cedar tree family, I think.
We STILL haven't decided where we are headed for the summer .... still enjoying our time here.

Since you are still out west why don't you stay out west and go to FMCA in Oregon in August.
