The OK RV Park in Holbrook, AZ is close to the Petrified
Forest and is a good spot to hang for a couple of nights.

| The GRAND! |
Next stop the Grand Canyon.
We get a spot at the Trailer Village. It’s crowded and noisy but we luck
out with a space on the end where we can watch the elk strolling through the
campground. The weather is mild and we
get in some hiking along the canyon rim.

| Oasis in the desert |
An overnight in Needles at Fender's River Road Resort gets us back in California. It's a nice spot and someplace we may revisit. The final stop before we give our itchy feet a rest is Indio. Our favorite park in the
area is Indian Waters and we are fortunate to get a spot since the Canadian
Snowbird migration is in full swing.
One of our favorite hiking spot (well worth the price of
admission) in the area is Palm Canyon.
This land is owned and maintained by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla
Indians. The trails are in excellent
shape and wind through Palm filled canyons, rocky gorges, past streambeds and
up and over desert mesas. Before we
start our hike, we catch a ranger tour and learn about the daily lives of the
Cahuilla Indians before the European invasion of Palm Springs.
With the Holidays coming up it’s now time to head for the
coast and hunker down for our long winter’s nap… maybe catch a surfing Santa… and
definitely spend some time with the family…
catch you on the flip side…
