Dennis, AJ, Peter and myself went to the Whitewater Preserve just north of Palm Springs last Sunday morning. Peter and I had never been before and we were very impressed. We've heard of and seen Joshua Trees National Monument but the best thing is, Whitewater is FREE!!! Nowhere near as big as Joshua Trees but FREE!!!!! Here they are, Peter, Dennis and AJ. No amount of ridiculing will make Peter get rid of those horrendous shorts or ridiculous hat!!!
We enjoyed a wander (some might call it a 'hike')through the riparian vegetation and a few steps on the trail with an eye out for the Longhorn sheep but to no avail. We took in the old trout farm (no, not where they keep old trout)and decided one day we would all go there for a picnic.
The rock formations are spectacular with plenty of boulders hanging on the side of mountains waiting to come crashing down .. so no loud noises, please!!!
Later on, Stuart and I took ourselves off to our new favourite brunch place, Escena,a restaurant at the club house of a spectacular golf course east of Palm Springs. Well worth the visit; the views are wonderful. I took my camera with me but left the memory card in the printer! Oh well, next time!!
