Thursday Dec 30 I will go on a ranger led hike at Santa Rosa and Friday Dec. 31 I will hike with Clark and Shelia and Hudson and Dina at the Thousand Palms preserve We hike Moon Country.
REMEMBER-He who is not courages enough to take risk will accomplish nothing in life.

Today I run another tag-along. This time to the Salton Sea. We go to the East side where the visitors center is. The Salton Sea is the largest inland surface body of water in Cal. The sea lies in a closed basin .salt is leached as water passes through salt containing soil. The Salton sea is 98 years old and lies 228' below sea level. After an orientation vidio we hike the Ironwood trail then off to the Oasis date garden where they give us a talk on the life of dates. We get a free date shake (yum ) and are able to sample numerous different dates.
REMEMBER- Leave your worries behind they only weigh you down.

WIFI down again for 3 days seems to be working good tonight so here goes. I went on a 7 mile hike yesterday with the Santa Rosa group they took us to Indian Canyon on the Potrero trail .Some of the trail was rated strenuous- no kidding. But I made it. The day before that I went on the Carizzo canyon trail all by myself. Today I took 11 people to old town to see the murals and the thrift stores in Indio.
REMEMBER-Joy is a flower that blooms in all seasons- pick some

December 7 Monday 2009 Yuma
Today I have fun skyping and I have lunch with Carter and Madison. They are looking at the computer better now. Madison made funny faces with me and even waved bye bye . Carter gave me some good smiles but I was too slow to get a picture. The park had a good fashions show and tea. Shannon phones to say they are just outside Fiji. This time they lost the 30' boat they were towing for the boss. Very windy here in Yuma tonight power went out twice and played havoc on the internet.
REMEMBER- We were born unique,so don't die a copy.
