California Here We Come!

Thanks for the suggestions. California has been one of our favorite destinations over the years. I remember our first visit and a drive down the PCH - watching people with their campers in tow around twists and turns so tight they could see the end of their camper from the tow vehicle!

Our destination is to Indian Wells, just south of Jushua Tree, near Palm Springs. It is one of the few parts of the state we've never visited.

Thanks for the suggestions about Texas and New Mexico. We're trying to decide whether or not we'll have time to visit the Grand Canyon again this trip. I guess we will make that decision when we are leaving California.

Question, how busy is the campground inside the GC Park in mid March? We stayed in Bright Angel Cabins the time we visited.

Yes, it would be a great time to visit the Grand Canyon. Temps are mild, if not chilly, but the best is the crowds don't start coming until later in the Spring. BUT it will be chilly, like in the 20ies at night, so make sure your equip for that.
I lived in Yuccca Valley for a few years and know Indian Wells well. Make sure you check out Thousand Palms Oasis, and Cabots Pueblo Museum. I wasn't kidding about the sex life of a date, if you have time visit Shields Date Farm right near Indian Wells, and watch the video, enjoy a date shake and if they have any, try a Abbada date. They are the best. AND make sure you visit the Air Museum, and take the Tramway up the mountain.
