090402- Lake CAHUILLA

March 30, 2009
Today, we got a new neighbor with a 37-foot Monaco, and four slide-outs
He also has a new bright taxi yellow Hummer and a very shiny and expensive motorcycle.
Jay is a swinging Bachelor, 51 years old, and a full-timer.
He owns the boat concession at the other end of the lake where he rents out small electric powered boats for people to cruise around the lake.
It's a new business for him and he has great hopes for a successful one.
We spent a few evenings sitting around the campsite talking about motor homes, traveling, women, and life in general. Peter took a liking to him, and that bodes well for him.
He is staying at the park through the summer, running his business but I'm sure he won't be bored or lonely. He offered us a free boat ride around the lake, but unfortunately, it would have been too difficult for me to access the boat and I still don’t know if Peter can swim and I’m not going to find out the hard way.

This is our last night here, and were getting a send off with a continuous blast of LION wind.
I call it LION wind because it’s ferocious and roars through the campsite.
Since we've been here these strong and blustery winds have rocked us to sleep quite a few nights.
It hasn’t had any adverse effects on the Beast but our neighbor had his new Hummer damaged by the blowing sand causing paint and window damage.
This past week has been very pleasant, with predominantly warm sunny days and cool nights.
Tomorrow, if the weather is nice, and my knees aren't hurting we will try to do some sightseeing at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
Tomorrow night, we’ll be sleeping in a park located in Desert Hot Springs, and hopefully we'll get a spot near the pool and dining room. This Western Horizon's Resort’s claim to fame is its mineral hot pools, which I may venture into.
