On Feb 8, 2024 we took the Rover to Palm Springs for a three-day camp. The catalyst was the Tour de Palm Springs, a bike ride our biking friends invited us to join. I had never been on an organized bike ride before. As it turned out, the ride was the weekend after a massive one-week rain storm in Southern California, and many of the routes originally planned had to be modified. We had signed up for a 35-mile route, but ended up just being able to do a 25-mile ride – and not out in the desert as we expected, but right in the urban sprawl of Palm Springs. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the ride, the camping, and the visits with friends.
