Day 3 Sunday 27th to Blythe
Set off back down the I-10 and turned off just passed the Palm Springs turn onto the Highway 62 up to the Joshua Tree National Park ( Half a million acres of desert and fascinating wild life and scenery)
After passing through the Park back onto the I-10 we drove on to Blythe. We found a Motel with swimming pool, eccentric Taiwanese manager, nice rooms and a lovely feel. It was 5 minutes walk from the Legion Post and across the road from a Sizzlers Restaraunt,where we all had seniors Meals and they were just about right.
Before we ate we were made very welcome at the Legion Post, exchanged gifts, learnt a lot more about the community and tried not to pig out on the Sunday snacks of fried chicken.
There has just been a local boy killed in service , in Iraq, the first ever, so a War Memorial has been set up and it is lovely.
