Some Local Trips

As was mentioned yesterday, we wanted to check out the other Western Horizon park that would be closer to downtown Palm Springs. It is located in Desert Hot Springs and is less than 10 miles from the Palm Springs Florist. The park is "ok", but is old like most of the parks in this area. We spoke with the people in the office and found out that there may be a couple openings on their staff. They suggested that we return today and talk to the manager about them. Of course, I am staying far away from any heavy maintenance jobs so it will be interesting. We will find out the details today.

We then went to Walmart so Josie could get one of her prescriptions transferred there and then to Target to look for a tube cake pan that, for some reason, has been hard to find. We took the following shot while driving on I-10 that gives you an idea of the snow that is staying around on top of the mountains around here:

Lots of people take the Tramway to the top of this mountain to let their kids play in the snow. There are also miles of hiking trails up there and a lodge where you can eat, etc. We went there years ago and will probably do it again before we leave this area.

While driving around we stopped at a couple of other resort parks in the Desert Hot Springs area and picked up information on them. There were some really nice places that we inquired about Workamping and they said to send a resume since they do hire seasonal workers. That would be for next year though since they are all fully staffed now. We'll do that just to see if we get a response.

It was back to home and a quiet evening of watching TV before going to bed. It's nice staying up a little later now that I don't have to get up to go to work. We are enjoying the time while it lasts...
