California desert
I dont care what they say. Yes its dry, but, its hotter than a firecracker in July here in Palm Springs. We are from The Miami area and used to the heat. We are on a road trip to continue on through the coast of Cal and Oregon across the northwest through the natl parks and then on toward the Great lakes before we head back to Fla. That is unless we run out of money b4 then. Hope everyone is having a great day.

We spent from January 2008 to April 2009 in Desert Hot Springs, CA due to my back surgery. Except for the AC going kaput, we managed very well after two days without AC. Spent a lot of time in the pool!

Yup Don, I agree with you. One of these days the tourists will figure out that anyone visiting Palm Springs/Palm Desert in the summer are NOT from California cuz we stay away.
Bill!!! Keep going West!!! You aren't at the coast yet and all the green you see around you in Palm Springs is an illusion.
Actually it not an illusion. It's an example of how us Californians (mostly people from back East who resettled around here in an attempt to make the desert green like their past homeland) planted grass where it's not meant to be, then have to steal the water from the Colorado River to keep it watered. No wonder there's always water shortages here. We're wasting it on lush golf courses in one of the hottest deserts in the world.

If you come to Colorado I can show you a place where it got to 36 degrees last night. I know because I was there. Only 10,800ft. Just north of Alma, CO at 10,500ft.
