31 March - 06 April  Palm Springs and Cathedral City, California This post is delayed and will be a longer one. I apologize for that. A lot happened during this week. I will try to highlight the significant events. We planned to drive from Bakersfield to 29 Palms and stay for 2 days, but that changed for us. I combined the next week's events into one post for my own ease in keeping track of them as they unfolded. I will start by quoting Barry from his diary, "Well, this day will be considered a pivot point, a transitional moment, a paradigm shift, life-altering, destiny maybe..."  We left Bakersfield about 9:15 AM and the original plan was to stop at the Cesar E. Chavez National Memorial. I called to make sure they had RV parking. Darn'it POTUS!!!!! They had a recording that stated closed today due to "operational constraints." We decided to head to Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.  The decision was to go there first, then drive the one-and-a-half hours to 29 Pa...

30 March 2025, Bakersfield, California Jeeps 10 Ken and Jan made it to Santa Nella before we left, so we could follow each other to Bakersfield. The wind was crazy; we even saw semi-trucks blown around the freeway. We stopped about half an hour from Bakersfield to get gas so we would not have to get it in the morning.  We pulled into the RV park behind K&J, so I'm unsure how they went. Beautiful weather here. We both hooked up our rigs to power, sewer and water. We got a quick tour of their new RV and headed to the restaurant for Happy Hour. The restaurant has a great happy hour and we remembered from the last time we stayed here. We both got caught up on family stuff, ate appetizers, and drank.  Back to the RVs to relax.  Copyright © 2025 by Jacqueline Threet Henderson, Jacqueline's Jaunts. All rights reserved.
