Out our dining room window I believe is the end of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The colour is always odd and the air is always hazy over the Salton Sea. We have not travelled along the east side of the Salton Sea very far and so you could be correct about Bombay Beach. <br />Janet's neighbourhood is very interesting place, golf courses of course are always well manicured and this whole community is part of the golf club community. It's very green and flower filled. Along with many fruit trees including grapefruit, lemons, oranges, and limes. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-33143676689596945372020-01-11T22:02:52.925-05:002020-01-11T22:02:52.925-05:00We always have a great time with Janet.

They golf a great deal and so the place is perfect for them, they can use their golf cart to go everywhere. <br />I use my Dad's on occasion in our summer spot but I think one of my own would be nice, although I think it would make me lazy and I wouldn't walk as much as I do. The trails are quite simple actually, you can always climb out and have a look at where you are. It would be a tough climb out but you could eventually get to the top. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-63100634046155276112020-01-11T22:00:52.601-05:002020-01-11T22:00:52.601-05:00Haha.

A number of vehicles, two and four wheeled passed by today and we enjoyed watching them out the windows. Saturday is a play day I am certain. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-87978821943335598782020-01-11T11:24:56.172-05:002020-01-11T11:24:56.172-05:00Those are the Chocolate and the Orocopia Mountains...Those are the Chocolate and the Orocopia Mountains(to the north of the Chocolate) across the sea from you. The Chuckwalla Mountains are further behind them with the famous Bradshaw Trail running in between them. In your picture I believe it is Bombay Beach on the other shore.

I like my feet and while they can't take me to the same places or as far, it's better for me to walk and hike. I could take the Dogsled part way and walk in different areas I suppose but it wouldn't be quite the same. <br />I didn't see a single dinosaur track the entire time I was walking today. Although I guess one could peek up over the next rise at any time and I'll be too stunned to take a photo for you. <br />Sorry to hear about the snow Vern.

Then you posted the picture of one. I looked at them last year and my goodness they were more than my first house ( 50 years ago) . Also you might be watching out in those bad lands as there still could be some dinosaurs around , just saying. Be safe and great pictures . To bad they don't put more water back into the sea .
