December 29

What a day, we made it to Palm Springs with no problems.  We pulled into the park at about 12:30 PM and was able to find a 50 AMP site with no problem.  We got set up and found a problem with the coach when putting out the slide.  We have not had any problems with any of the slides tell today.  As we put it out it seemed to be binding up, I think a roller is the problem.  All I know is it made a loud notice and shock the trailer slide real bad.  We have a mobile service coming by tomorrow I am hoping it is something small and will be fixed easy.  We tried to find a place to take it to under warranty, but every where we called it would be two or plus weeks before they can get to it.  So we will see how it goes tomorrow.
Now back to our drive today.  We left out of the RV park at about 7:30 AM and headed east on I-58, we only have about 230 miles to drive.  As we started up to the high desert I seen a reader board sign that said snow & Ice Ahead, boy that is  all we need.

Yes we did find some snow, but none on the road, YAH!!!!  The roads were dry all the way up and over into the high desert area.  It was still a little cold but it was warming up as every hour passed.  The news said something about the cold should be gone here today or tomorrow.  All I know is the road was good.

I never get tired of see Joshua Trees they have there own personality, everyone of them are different in there own way.  We are at 3000 feet where we find them.
I always know we are getting close to the Palm Springs Area  when we see these windmill's.

  One of these day I would like to go on a tour of these big windmill's and see how they work and just how much power they make.  Hay, I just added another thing to do on my bucket list.  We all have one and it is great to add things to it all the time.
I was reading a fellow bloggers web site today (http://gypsyjournalrv.com/category/nicksblog/) and really had to think hard about what he said about those little voice you here in your head once in a while.  Two day ago when we ended up at the casino, we were thinking about staying at a truck stop but the little people in my head said to keep driving.  Read his blog it was good.
Tomorrow we have a few things to get done, one is getting the truck in and having the rear end fluid changed, so tomorrow morning I will be at the shop early in the morning, like 7:00 AM so I can get in and out.  Then the repair guy is coming by for the coach, and if we have any more time it is a fast trip to Salton City to get the LED Lights that I had on the RZR so I can put them on the truck, it will help with night time driving I hope.  Tomorrow is another day in the Olsen's life of travels and who knows what.
