Off to Desert Palms


Had a quick look around San Diego; visited Balboa Park which is a cultural centre for the city with all the museums and art galleries combined in one place.  I went to the art gallery and David to the automotive museum and we met up for lunch in the sculpture garden.
Set off towards Phoenix; on our journey at last!  We decided to stay in Palm Desert as it looked like a reasonable distance to travel.  On the way we visited Mark Cammell in his workshop and he showed us a car that he is modifying.   He seemed to have kept the body but changed everything else including incorporating bits from a Chevy Caprice which is the car the state police use so they’re very rugged.
Then up to 4000 ft over the mountains with the vegetation becoming sparse and little soil in between the boulders.  Then down into a valley that looked like an old river bed as it is wide and flat and where the town of Palm Desert is.  The green area of the town is in stark contrast to the surrounding area (see pic I hope)
