Thursday, February 12 - Our seven day stay at Desert Pools RV Resort was up. They were not willing to extend our stay under the Passport America discount even though they had plenty of vacancies. With that in mind, we headed to the Indio, CA, Elks Lodge.
This was our first movement East since we left Ohio. No, we are not heading there yet! There's snow in them thar hills!
The Indio, CA, Elks Lodge in an RV destination for sure. They have 55 campsites, some on gravel and some on the blacktop. There is only 30 amp electric and water. There is a dump station on sight and you can use their "blueboy" portable dumper to extend your stay without moving to dump. The streets are paved and the sites are nice and level.
We are in Site #22. It is a corner lot and bigger than some of the others. Bella is enjoying her new home. There is grass for her to graze on! What a treat to her.
Looking left.
You do have to be an Elks member. The Lodge is available for your use. They have a brunch on Sunday, lunch every day, and dinner each night they are open and entertainment on the weekends. Our initial reaction is that it seems like a pretty nice place to stay for a week or so. They do have a one week limit if the place is full and there are campers in the dry camp area waiting for a spot. If vacancies are available, which there are numerous spots open today, you are permitted to stay as long as you wish. The host and hostess are super nice.
Indio, CA, is a large city (40,000+), so there is all the necessary shopping establishments and big box stores. There are plenty of hiking trails and other outdoor activities in the surrounding desert and mountains.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
Glad you were able to get a nice spot! Things worked out well for you:) Looking forward to your adventures in Indio!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats...looks like you found a great spot. If you're looking for a great place to hike you might want to try the Painted Canyon as it's not too far from Indio.
ReplyDeleteThat bobcat photo in the earlier post was sure a lucky catch. It certainly is a different color than the bobcats we have here.
ReplyDeleteWoah! We also are in Indio for groceries and refills of RXs. Hopefully head to Borrego Springs as soon As Walgreens get their act together.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stay there at the elks and more adventures in the area.
ReplyDeleteI am going to do some more research into Canadians being Elks.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Bella thinks when she walks out the door at a new place.
ReplyDeleteMom. . .where am I? LOL. . .
We enjoyed the Indio Elks and also thought the host at that time was a pretty swell fella.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that you're all settled in. Looking forward to reading about your next adventures.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
We really enjoyed the Indio Elks when we were there a few years ago. Is Linda the bartender still there? She rides a Harley also, so of course we enjoyed chatting with her.
ReplyDeleteI am once again behind on my readings. You two are difficult to catch up to. ;) Enjoy!
