After a free night at Beaumont, CA.'s Wal-Mart we headed east on Hwy. 10 to Desert Hot Springs. This area is known for its hot mineral water that is available at most of the RV parks in pools so you can soak in it. As we left Beaumont we entered into the San Gorgonio Pass. The San Bernardino Mountains are to the north. And the San Jacinto Mountains are to the south. with thousands of wind turbines between the 1,591 feet cut between them. The San Gorgonio Pass is one of the deepest passes in the 48 states as the San Gorgonio Mountains rise up 9000 ft from the pass. Wind farms are on top of the mountains as well as in the valley. I know I am going over board with the wind farm landscape, but just wanted you to see how many there were!
San Gorgonio Mountain. The wind farms go on forever. Lots of traffic on this section of the Interstate. Our roadtrip from Beaumont to Desert Hot Springs was about 15 to 20 minutes. We don't believe in long day drive:)We finally got off Hwy. 10 and headed down this road. Just doesn't look like a road to a RV park. As is often the case, when we get close to where we are going it just doesn't look like we expected. But we finally reach our park, just beyond the wind turbines. For awhile I was wondering if the RV park might be right next to the wind farm.
