| Where we Are at Fantasy Springs Casino |
We made it to Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio Christmas Eve night too late to celebrate Christmas Eve with Tim and family, but in time to get a good night's rest in order to be ready for Christmas morning.When I wrote in my previous post about the excitement of being on the road, I had no idea of what was to come. We decided to take the "back way" to Indio by going through Temecula and the outskirts of Hemet. Instead of traveling on a well-lit several-lanes-wide freeway, we found ourselves on a very dark 2-lane road which turned out to be very exciting indeed. My eyes were never so wide open trying to see the road as I "helped" Bob drive. "Watch out." "Go that way." The headlights coming at us were blinding. Turning on the defroster helped clear the moisture from windows that we hadn't realized was inhibiting our ability to see the road.
The biggest positive on going that way was that we had no semi-trucks by our side.
We are grateful to our friend Jim Custeau for locating a starter for us on Christmas Eve morning in time for Bob to install it and still be able to reach our destination for Christmas.

He did, however, use the remote control to snap this memorable moment.

Bob and I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and wish you a very healthy and happy New Year.
We are enjoying Being Where We Are.
What a lovely Christmas you finally had! Looks like there may be room for us at Fantasy Springs...Lynda
ReplyDeleteI think we can find you a spot!
DeleteGlad you made it safely. Good thing Bob could get that starter changed. When mine went out on our Pace Arrow the exhaust manifold had to be removed first. I don't like to drive our M/H after dark either and I'm very familiar with that two lane road you refered to as we've driven it many times. Hope you guys have better luck down the road. We got the e-mail from Anderson about the work at the campground. Now that everbody will have electricity we will be going out on more noise complaints than before. We volunteered to work thru spring break but haven't heard back from Anderson yet. JIM B.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness Bob didn't have to remove the exhaust manifold.
DeleteAbout the Silver Strand: I'm sure we'll have various new challenges with the electricity. Time will tell. Kathie
We've put our levels down many times at the Indio Fantasy Casino. The buffet there is fantastic but can't say we came out ahead with those one-arm bandits!
ReplyDeleteThe parking area works very well for those in transit as well as for those (us in particular) who have family in the area. I love how so many RVers pass by the No Overnight Parking sign and do just that. :) We'll be sure to try the buffet next time. Glad you stopped by.
Deleteps. @Wanderin' I tried to read your blog and was disappointed to see that I counldn't access it.
