Day 20 Tuesday January 28



Tahquitz protection
M's place up the steps and in the gentler part of town

     A day in Palm Springs. Had to move the van because one of the condo residents felt it was a collision hazard. Dog maintenance then a bike ride with a short portage where civilization failed us. So many unique house shapes and colors that one gave up on photos before even starting and also if one stopped S and M disappeared around the corner. The vast mountain loomed over the carefully managed homes; Tahquitz Canyon threatened the houses on the west side of town so they build a wall of boulders a mile long and real high to protect them from it floods of water mixed with other boulders. (see photo).
     Went to visit Bob and he served a nice lemon water and showed us around his construction site/home. Dog maintenance. Laundry. A nice dinner at the Tropicale where you felt like Ol' Blue Eyes might show any minute. S had the fish tacos, M the seared char while I dealt with the Indian Butter Chicken plus the fruity drinks. Tomorrow we are on our on again and heading for Yuma.
