Well today is Wednesday and it is time to move west to Palm Springs. When I travel I often use www.priceline.com to book my hotels. This was no different. I was given the Indian Wells Resort at $47 a night.
It was tough last two days
It is tough to leave behind my Residence Inn in Phoenix. I had two days off lying by the pool.
On the way west I have plotted out to return to an area of caches I wanted to do last April when I started caching. This area is off a road called Box Canyon Road. Last year I did some caches up Box canyon that included Painted Canyon Trail. That has become my favourite trail of all time and caching location. I will go back and finish the trip at some point. I left many caches behind.
Now the first stop in California was a Virtual cache. I pulled into the cache area and park and look out of my car and see this.
Just what we don't see back in BC everyday. Well I only know of one cacher in BC so far to be bitten by a Rattle Snake.
After the caching I continued to my Hotel and this is what I can expect.
The total for today was 22 caches. This also caused me to go over 400 caches today as well. I also have done a 100+ caches in 4 days. I had planned to get a few more but for some reason my GPS hated the address of the hotel I was staying at. I learned that in Palm Springs they display numbers like this 75-661 and GPS units hate them. There is no way to add the – and when you put the number in without the – it comes up not found.

- Before I can cache I have to stop at a California Border Inspection station for Fruit.

- one of many tanks at the Museum
-
- The General Patton Museum home of the Virtual cache. The really weird part of this cache was I watched the movie Patton two days ago back in Phoenix.
-
- Didn’t know frogs lived in the Desert?
-
- Then I found a Lifesaver.
-
- This is the road off of Box Canyon that I was caching on. I only passed one car on this road and it was because I forgot a cache and had to go back for it. I ran into another cacher from California as a result. Not much chance of getting muggled here.

- Gee this looks rough……

- The Bathroom
I hear it is snowing back home. Tomorrow I will post photos of the Golf course and pool connected to this place. I have a hike planned along the Boo Hoff Trail.
