As we started out this morning we headed into the desert along the California/Mexico border. The dark line along the horizon is actually a fence that runs along the border. You can see Keith and Sherla and Don and Doris ahead of us. Notice the dark spots in the sky? That's my camera acting up. The lens is clean, but there must be something internal that needs fixing. I'll have to take care of it when we get home. Anyway, it was a great morning for travel and all started out well, until...
a tire blew on Keith and Sheral's fifth wheel. The men got right to work and had it fixed in no time and we were back on the road. 
This is the Salton Sea. Sorry it's not a very good picture. This is a saline lake located directly on the San Andres Fault in Southern California. It's surface is 226 feet below sea level. It is approximately 15 miles wide by 35 miles long. The lakes salinity is greater than that of the Pacific Ocean. (There's those dark spots again and they are always in the same place) 
We stopped to get a new tire for Keith and I thought it interesting that we could have palm trees and snow in the same picture.
As we near Palm Springs the windmills start popping up. I don't know what the statistics are, but there certainly are more here than I have seen anywhere else.
Take a close look at the tall tree. It really is a cell tower. Aren't they clever?
You never know what you might see when out on an adventure. Here is the SS Minnow cruising in the desert.
I'm not sure what this is, but we have gone by it a few times now on our way South and then North. It looks like something from a movie set about space.
After we got our RVs parked for the night us girls went for a short walk. It was nice to stretch after sitting all day. Across the street in one of the fields was this oil well. They just kind of pop up all over like flowers. Most of the time they look just like this, but if the well is in a downtown area they might put a building around it so it looks like an office.
We are staying at Orange Grove RV Park again tonight. We stopped here on our way down and were able to pick some of the best oranges from the trees right outside the motorhome. The trees have very few oranges now and they don't want you picking them as the blossoms are just coming out and they don't want them knocked off. There is just a little smell right now, but in another week that park is going to really smell good.
