Canuck2 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Having stayed at Palm Springs for a month, we stuffed all our gear and new purchases in the car and headed home. We spread the traveling over 8 days, so we managed to hit many points of interest. Some I've already shown in prior posts. Oh ya, there are palm trees in the vicinity of Palm Springs. These are appropriately named California fan palms. The natural ones (as opposed to those planted) sometimes grow in clusters at rare water sites - oases. Often the water comes to surface along fault planes, like the San Andreas, and at certain places there can even be sizable ponds. A single frond. Heading home up the coast, we found the redwoods pretty impressive. The surf was also impressive. There was a variety of cool lighthouses. And the occasional surf fisherman with results that surprised me; this guy caught several barred perch as we watched. . It was a great trip. Now it's back to the real world with all kinds of honey-do's that piled up while we were gone staring me in the face. But worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
