Indian Waters RV Resort Indio, California

My last morning walk in Borrego Springs.  It was lovely and warm.  We have really enjoyed being here for this extended time.  We even talked about staying longer, but we decided it was time to move on.  We will definitely come back someday.

We left and traveled east.  We found a place along the road for our breakfast.  The view was beautiful. 

At the end of the road, we turned left at the Salton Sea.

As we approached Mecca, there were date groves and citrus orchards.  The air was heavy with the fragrance of lemons and oranges.

We knew that there was dispersed camping along Box Canyon Road.  Tim had looked at it on Google Earth and he was fairly certain that the area along the pavement was sand.  Soft, deep sand is not such a good place to drive the RV.  The shoulder was indeed very soft and we decided not to try to camp, but it was a great ride. 

We ended up taking Route 10 into Indio.  In these pictures we can see snow capped mountains, palm trees and desert.

Our first goal was to get supplies.  There was a Walmart Supercenter that met our needs.  I walked more than a mile in the store gathering groceries and other odds and ends…one stop shopping…which is important to me right now!

We found a campground in Indio.  We are not far from Palm Springs and so we were surprised (but shouldn’t have been) at the cost of campsites!  On the upside, we did get diesel fuel for $3.99 a gallon…that’s a California bargain!

Indian Waters is a very nice resort.  We spent the afternoon enjoying the warm breeze.  Did you know that wind moving through palm trees sounds way different than wind moving through trees at home?
