Round Tailed Squirrel, 04-25-2013

This little creature's life ended on the road to Palm Canyon in the Indian Canyons.
Today's ride: 25 1/2 miles, Gene Autry Trail Loop + Hermit's Bench, http://connect.garmin.com/activity/303149928 .  I was going to ride down-valley and do a loop, but the wind was kicking up too much dust and sand, so stayed close to home today.

Bike Parking Indian Canyons Style, 04-15-2013

Today's ride: 18 miles, Indian Canyons Out-and-back, http://connect.garmin.com/activity/298464500 .  An ugly wind was blowing today, filled with dust and grit.  I kept my ride close to home and slow... not a good day for outdoors exercise in the desert.

Never Better, 04-10-2013


The Palm Springs Desert Fashion Plaza has never looked better.  I'm hoping it improves once it is rebuilt.
