Day 9 – 1/14/10
We got up early this morning and got the coach ready to go to Hemet before going to breakfast with Gerald and Gladys. Yea, we went back to "Sweet Darlenes" We had almost as long a wait this time as we did yesterday but the food was delicious when it finally arrived.

11:00 MST we pulled out of Holiday Palms RV Park in Quartzsite, AZ, on the last leg of our trip to California. We changed the time on our watches at Blythe, CA 
when we stopped for gas at the Flying J and entered the Pacific time zone. It is 70 degrees and it is extremely windy. The wind was very bad for about an hour and a half as we crossed the desert from Blythe, CA to Coachella, Ca. Visibility was practically non existent at times due to the heavy blowing dust/sand.
At 1:00 p.m. we stopped in Coachella, Ca, at the T/A
Truck Stop and had the Motorhome and car washed. J.W. needed a rest stop due to the terrribly heavy winds. I had fallen asleep, but J.W. saw a mobile office building on its side along the side of the road.
2:20 Back on the road.

2:20 Back on the road. When we came through the mountains at Banning, CA., we saw literally thousands of wind turbines. They were everywhere you looked (I have never seen so many wind turbines in one place) very impressive.
We arrived at Mountain Valley RV Park where we will stay for the next month. We got all set up, changed our clothes, freshened up and ready to meet Chad & Melissa and their family, & Deanie & Bill at the Hometown Buffet. After dinner we went to Chad & Melissa’s for a nice visit. We got back to the RV about 10:00 p.m. A long, exhausting day but we're finally here. Now for a months worth of resting before we head back to Branson, Mo.
Our blog updates will probably be sporadic for a while as we rest and take some day trips. We will notify everyone on Facebook and by email when we have an updateto this blog.Thanks for following along with us. When we make the return trip to Branson, we plan to make stops in Phoenix to visit the capital, Carlsbad Caverns, San Antonio, Austin, TX to visit the capital and also Oklahoma Citys Capital. See ya down the road . . .
