Well today is Wednesday and it is time to move west to Palm Springs. When I travel I often use www.priceline.com<\/a> to book my hotels. This was no different. I was given the Indian Wells Resort<\/a> at $47 a night.<\/p>\n

\""It<\/a>

It was tough last two days<\/p><\/div>\n

It is tough to leave behind my Residence Inn in Phoenix. I had two days off lying by the pool.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\""Just<\/a>

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.<\/p><\/div>\n

After the caching I continued to my Hotel and this is what I can expect.
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n
