Our initial desert landing was at the Vineyards RV Resort in Coachella. Had never heard of this place, and did not even know it existed, but the rate was one we could not pass up for our first desert week. It is an odd place with casitas that are built next to RV pads. We only rented the pad so cannot speak for the casitas. It was a beautiful lot, but we really missed the lack of interaction with others that we have found at other parks down here. It was adjacent to the Spotlight 29 Casino, so we did get to take in Joan Rivers the first night we arrived.
A week later we moved over to ORI. As we pulled in, there were three retirees here that were ready for the "let's see you back that thing in" show. I am happy to report that our synchronized nonverbal teamwork provided nothing but disappointment to those hoping for a good show. Our neighbor across the street told us that he had never seen something like that without even one word uttered. Of course, that is not usually what happens....but we were both happy to let others think that "gay" couple have it all figured out.
Our own personal secret to these parks where owners own their lots individually is to NOT pay the outrageous rent by going through the main office at these places, but finding individual owners that you can rent from directly. We have done this the last two years and save anywhere from 40-50% off what the resort would charge. In fact, if you do it right you can usually grab one of these sites at a price that is not much above the nearby county park.
We will be here one more week and then will start making our migration back north. We will continue catching up with old friends, eating, trying to run off excess calories, and even doing some local hikes.
OH...and Paul found us this new gadget (only in Palm Springs)....and amazingly it does work...
