Menifee, California


California Sunset







Wind turbines near Palm Springs

We arrived at our campsite at Wilderness Lakes Resort in Menifee, CA on Friday. It is a nice resort with lots of ducks, geese and other water birds. There is a huge dairy farm nearby, but fortunately our site is on the other side of the park, so we don't have to endure the smell. Yesterday we drove down to Temucula and then we drove to the Palm Springs area to check out the Desert Pools Resort that we will be going to when we leave here in 2 weeks. Bob wanted to make sure the drive through the mountain areas will be OK when we pull the trailer there. We tried 2 different routes and they both seemed fine. The Palm Springs area has over 4,000 wind turbines which power the entire area. They cost up to $300,000 each to install. It's almost mesmerizing to drive through there when they are all turning. On the way back we watched a beautiful California sunset.
