California, Right Back Where I Started From

Indio, California

We’re in California. The 11th state we’ve stayed in in Homer.

Remember this old song?

California here I come
Right back where I started from

That’s approptiate for me now because Carol and I were born in California. So in a way, I’m back home.

It was raining so much yesterday that I didn’t get a chance to take pictures. It’s beautiful today, and here are a few photos from our park…

Sophie’s in heaven because there is GRASS!

After being in the Phoenix area where almost all grass is reserved for golf courses, grass in RV spaces feels decadent!

On our morning walk, Sophie and I were rewarded with a couple of road runner sightings. The female was camera shy.

Apparently these must be common sights here because I was the only one intrigued by them.

When I saw this azalea bush last night, all the branches were upright. This morning they are heavily laden with raindrops.

I love the canoe and its occupants in this license plate.

We’ve only seen two of these off road RVs in our travels. This couple has their own travel blog: traveljoy.ch.

And, of course I checked out the pickleball courts as soon as I could.

The great thing about our spot is that I can hear that heavenly sound of balls bouncing so I know when to head over for play. 🙂

  1. Hi. Sounds & looks like the park is very nice. Grass sure is wonderful after many months w/o it. We are getting the rain, here, today. Temps dropped 10 degrees in a short period this morning. Glad to hear sun is headed our way. Miss you guys! Enjoy Calif.

  2. Thanks, Debbie! If our calculations are correct, you should have full sun tomorrow afternoon. 🙂 Miss you, too…

    1. We’re here until Friday, and I hope to visit Joshua Tree and the Salton Sea…

  3. I checked out the traveljoy,ch but its in a different language. Bummer.

    1. I use Google Chrome for my browser, Lorraine, and it has a translate option. The couple has literally traveled around the world in their RV. They even shipped it from Hamburg, Germany, to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

  4. Did you play yet? And yet another area you brought rain to on your travels. Rainmakers!

    1. Yes, Carol, I did play. And talk about a small pickleball world… One of the players here was at Pueblo El Mirage and he remembered you and me. His name is Bill, and he’s the guy from Scotland. 🙂
