Seven Down, Forty Three to Go!

February 19, 2012
Indio, CA

Golfing Today!  We went to the Indio Community Golf Course.  An 18 hole, par 3 that was perfect!  Very well kept and the most grass we have seen in a month!  Perfect weather, nice people, and I got the California sticker!



I am finally getting a decent amount of color on my map.  Now just have to zig over to Nevada before we head too far north.  Golfing done for the day, heading back to the casino.


For the next couple of days we explored the surrounding towns.  Went to the local Costco, took walk around surrounding businesses.  Had lunch at Five Guys Burgers.  Had to try it after I saw Barack Obama stop at one with the secret service guys.



The burger was huge with two patties.  I believe that this was the first burger I could not finish.  Huge bag of fries and we got the small fry.  It was good.  Zips is better.  You can take the girl out of Southeastern Washington, you can't take Southeastern Washington out of the girl.

Another place we visited was the Shields Date Farm.  The oldest date farm in the US.  Very interesting and worth going to so that you can watch their film.  The rest of it was mostly food products made from dates, including date milkshakes.  Every third person we saw was drinking a date milkshake  We didn't want to stand in line so no date milkshake for us.  I had already bought a bag of dates while in Yuma from a local farmers market.  Great dates.
