Monday was a rain day. Yesterday was a clearing day, still cooler than normal but dry. We decided to explore a bit. We took the "Palms to Pines" highway that wiggled its way up through a canyon on the side of the mountain range ringing the oasis on the valley floor. It went up through residential streets, past the Living Desert Museum and Zoo and then way way up in a series of switch backs to the pine forests on the top. I suppose here is a good place to add the photos, as we really didn't do much beyond this side trip and even today we just relaxed at our camper, read books and drank a lot of Red Rose.

Into the foothills.
Climbing out into the pine forest near the summit. We turned around near here.
On our way back down. That is the valley floor in the distance. If you look closely you can see the highway snaking around below.
