Putting the RV to bed after a long camping season in 2024
I don’t want to say driving the RV is difficult but you do have to watch for the other guy and so many don’t understand a 36′ RV isn’t an SUV. Consequently, we purchased a dash webcam just in case.

The Attractions
Shopping is a big attraction. It’s not for me but Della and her friends really enjoyed themselves. I found the night market, a concert and a tour of the Palm Desert Air Museum more to my liking.
