Palm Trees

February 10: I spent the morning cleaning the camper on the inside. It is amazing how dusty and dirty it can get even with the windows closed most of the time except for the past two days. I vacuum almost every day but the floor gets stuff tracked in every time I go in or out. And with Misty rolling in the dirt she has added to the mess. I just hope she doesn’t pick up any fleas. That has been the nice thing about an indoor cat, no cooties.

I walked around the park this morning. It is pretty full, mostly with people staying longer than a night or two. You can tell by all the stuff around their RVs. The one next to me is from Florida. I thought that it was kind of funny that someone from there would come out here but maybe they like the dry air. I guess they started RVing ful-time about 8 months ago.

There is an egret that has been fishing the pond all morning. This afternoon there were a group of kids and a dad or two fishing. Didn’t notice if they caught anything, though.

Simon and Yvonne cam by about 2:00. They hadn’t seen the camper before so I gave them the grand tour, ha ha. Then we left for a late lunch down the road at the Rancho 86 Restaurant and Bar. I got a lengua, al pastor, and fish taco. Yvonne got fish tacos, and Simon got enchiladas. The food was all pretty good.

It was just a few blocks from the Salton Sea, so after lunch we did a little drive around the area. You could see where there had been piers in small canals at one time but only rotten wood posts were left. There was definitely two sides of the track, so to speak. One area was just short of being homeless, as Simon said. Then there was another area a few blocks away that had much nicer homes.

After they dropped me off, Misty and I sat outside for a time. Misty scrambled back into the camper when the neighbor came out suddenly. I stayed out until it got too cool. It was a bit overcast today so definitely cooler than yesterday.

Here are some pictures of the camper.

Kitchen area. 3 burner stove, oven, microwave, small double sink.

Slide out dinette

Messy bed. Hard to make and keep tucked in. I am going to buy a mattress cover today as the mattress is slippery material and the sheets slide all over

Bathroom with a ‘dry’ shower which is really nice even though small. It keeps everything from getting all wet like in my boat.

Outside with slide out.

And here is one of Misty and I watching the Olympics last night. I finally got the FireTV and TV working together again. Have no idea how!

After the late lunch, I wasn’t really hungry until about 8:00 so made some popcorn and sliced up some apple for a snack while watching.

Off to Yuma today to visit friends.

    Very nice size for one person. My vet recommended Sereto flea collars for my cats and dogs and they really do work. They last 8 months but they are pricey, around $50 at Walmart, but well worth the investment.
