Traditions (Indio)
We have a traditional (4 years now) bike ride on a Sunday while we are in Indio. Truck the bikes to the Vons parking lot between LaQuinta and Indian Wells and ride the lovely bike trail along 111 and through some back streets to El Paseo, THE shopping street in Palm Desert. There is a lovely little bakery there where we have coffee and a goody and count the Jaguars driving by. This past Sunday was perfect bike riding weather. After the ride we come back to the park and hop into the pool. A newer traditional ride (only 2 years) is down to old town La Quinta and along a very fine bike trail at the edge of the desert and back through my favorite housing area in all of the desert communities. There is a fine little Mexican panaderia (bakery) across from the La Quinta library. In addition to these two bike rides we have been driving here and there. Have looked at other RV parks, but found nothing we really like. Also went out twice to Desert Hot Springs (about an hour drive) to see our Guemes neighbor Bev Wilcox, and back again because I forgot my shirt/ jacket there. Sunday was sunny, but it’s cloudy again. Don’t feel too sorry for us as the temperature is still in the low 70’s. We are off tomorrow an hour or so down the road to Salton City where we will stay awhile.
