Highway 74~First of the Month~100211

I drove up Highway 74, along Deep Canyon yesterday morning to stop and visit a friend who lives in Pinyon.  It was early in the morning and the sunlight was just right for some views looking back toward Palm Desert.  There were quite a few cars going up the mountain and coming down too.

Highway 74~Our World Tuesday~090611

Highway 74 is the route which I take from Palm Desert to our local mountains, where I board my 5 horses.  I drive this road every weekend and holiday that I have off from school to be with them.  It used to be called "The Palms to Pines Highway" since it goes from the desert floor to the pines of Idyllwild, but now it's the Roy S. Wilson Memorial Highway...I still call it the "Palms to Pines Highway".  I spent 5 hours this morning with the horses and it RAINED!  Yes, real rain!  It was wonderful!  I went to the feed store to buy more alfalfa pellets and I could see the rain slowly moving across the valley.  I thought I had plenty of time to get back to the ranch and unload it all, but nope!  Great big drops began to splash on the windshield right as the guy loaded 4 bags of pellets into my car.  Oops!  So, I took a chair and sat in the open part of the tack room and watched the rain come down and the horses all roll in the wet dirt!  They really enjoyed the rain today!  Our World Tuesday for Tuesday, September 6, 2011.
