We are so fortunate to have stumbled on Desert Trails RV Park. Everyday there are new activities, new friends, and a bustling University town to explore. We have ridden bikes, hiked in the hills, and taken a dip in the pool! Yup....sunbathing was this afternoon's most ambitious activity.
One of the most unique aspects of the Park is the active music program. A couple of nights a week, artists are invited to entertain the residents. It is all "pass the hat" so if you want to hear folk guitars or blues or jazz or oldies....sooner or later it will be on the schedule.
Friday evening we attended a local favorite -- an award winning, high school mariachi band! They were great! I am amazed at the stage presence of these kids: hardly old enough to be in high school and up on stage singing and playing. They introduced themselves: many had been playing for 8 to 10 years.
Saturday the birthday of Robert Burns was celebrated by a park resident and an expert on everything Whiskey! He came with 16 bottles (and a pitcher of Bloody Mary Queen of Scots!) and after talking a bit about whiskeys he invited everyone to taste -- anything you wanted.
I tryed a few; the Scapa was my favorite--oh so smooth! And in the mean time, Alan was working to learn more about his Scottish genealogy. A truly fun day.
