Being retired has its definite advantages. We obviously get to take a "vacation" anytime. So it was with our trip to the Coachella Valley. We stayed in our timeshare at the WorldMark Indio Resort. Wow, what a place! The best one of the group we have stayed at thus far. After a days worth of wind we were greeted to wonderful fall desert temps in the low 80's. We were able to make use of the resort amenities as well as visit the eastern side of the Salton Sea and the small town of Niland and it's Salvation Mountain. It was worth the drive just to see what one man, Leonard, has done the past 40 years with adobe dirt and paint. Amazing! We also got in a few bikes rides, played some golf (well Nancy did) and won a few dollars at the local casinos. Click on "Indio Vacation Photos" to view some of our pics of the adventure.
