Winter is still hitting hard on the east coast.We're very happy to be complaining about the 89 degree temperature on our last day in Indio.In fact we extended one extra day.Seems that NASCAR had a big race planned in Vegas for our travel day.We heard from some of the california folks at our park about it.So today we made the 291 mile trip after everyone had left the event.Folks here at Nellis AFB told us that was a smart decision since traffic was really bad and lots of accidents added to the misery.Now with the sound of freedom overhead, (F-22 Raptors), we are parked on the base RV park.Large parking spots with lots of room between sites we look forward to the change of scenery.Daisy is not nuts about leaving Indio.After two months she had her favorite places to "go".It'll take her a couple of days to re-

aclimate to new surroundings.

The last week at Indio was pleasant.We took a hundred mile ride to visit a family friend I hadn't seen in almost 50 years.The three of us had a real nice day with them.Driving home in the dark, not so nice.Lindy started experiencing some eye problems also.She was seeing green- yellow flashes in her vision.We googled it and for the better part of valor she saw an eye doctor.

He said it was not uncommon in our age group.

He said they should subside in a week or so.They

have and hopefully won't return.

The RV park "spot" owners had their once a year block party we attended.Lot's of food and drink and live music too.We enjoyed meeting some folks we hadn't already met.Even the weather was terrific.But then it was almost always very nice.

The last "to do" planned at Indio was

visiting the Living Desert Zoo & Exhibit.Lots of animals, plants indigenous to the Desert and wild bird exhibiits.I'll try to attach some here for your viewing.Today as the east gets pummeled by a big snowstorm, we wish an early end to winter for our friends and look forward to seeing them in warmer times...........................................out.
