Indio, California: Dave and I have returned to our motorhome, patiently waiting for us, at the Motorcoach Country Club. We thought we were so smart, getting out of Las Vegas early in the morning, before the official hotel check-out time and before all the hung-over hipsters pointed their cars back to Los Angeles.
Our clever plan did not turn out very well.
Our modern age made it possible to check-out of our hotel room by pushing a few buttons on my phone. Receipt was emailed immediately. Done and done. We only had to wait about five minutes for the valet to bring our car. The parking attendant pulled up, slammed on the emergency brake and handed us the keys. When we opened the hatch to load our luggage, we found everything spilled about like someone had flipped our car over. What was going on? Everything previously on the console was strewn on the floor of the passenger seat. Looks like "someone" took a corner at 90 miles per hour in the parking garage???

Being stopped on I-15 gave me opportunity to snap a few photos of the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System just over the California border near Primm, Nevada.



We left I-15 at Barstow and took the "back way" towards Joshua Tree National Park and arrived home at 4p. What a very, very long day.
Did I mention it was 92 degrees?
Though we had only been away four nights, we found a few surprises waiting for us:

We learned (via the radio) the Ducks drew a 7th seed and will face BYU in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Thursday, March 20th, in Milwaukee. The game will air on TRU TV at 12:10p pacific.
After unpacking, I ran out to the grocer and was blown-away at what a shopper was wearing. This is coming from a woman who has just spent four nights in Las Vegas where I saw enough butt cheeks hanging out of booty shorts to last a lifetime.

Until my next update, I remain, your "wouldn't a negligee be more appropriate?" correspondent.
