We made it to our resort without any problems. We got out of Portland before any serious weather hit and other than a little rough weather coming in to Palm Springs everything was great. We got our rental car, did some grocery shopping and arrived at our resort before 5:00 PM. The resort here is beautiful as you can see from the photos below. Last year we visited family members who were staying here (you know who you are). We stayed at another resort about 10 miles from here that was much older and not nearly as nice. The weather here is great. It rained a little before we got here yesterday and there were a few clouds still hanging around when I shot the first picture about 7:00 AM this morning.

The second shot shows one of the fairways with part of the resort in the background. The temperature was 68 degrees when I took the photo about 2:00 PM.
Cheryl and I got a nice walk in this afternoon and enjoyed the hot tub .

While leaving Portland we met a couple who split their time between Portland and a small town south of here, Borrego Springs. They told us about a large state park near their home where you can hike in and occasionally see mountain sheep. I guess there is a flock of about 40 still living in the mountains down there. We hope to go tomorrow and get a few photos if we can find them. The hike ought to be fun.

Last year we explored the eastern side of the Salton Sea, this years it's the west side. I'll keep you posted.
