Thursday, Feb. 2nd at
Silent Valley Club Resort, Banning, California. Bill was running out of clothes
and I was a long way from it (what does that tell you after 2 weeks?) so we
came up to the Laundry building at 8:30. This is one of those typical cabin
type buildings normally found in a Provincial Park back home. I love it.

| Laundry Facilities |
 |
| Set up for waiting out the washers |
There are 14 washers and 6 large
dryers and no one else was here. That is an advantage of visiting in the
winter. See? I’m finding perks already here at Silent Valley to replace our
disappointments. Once Bill helped me load 3 washers up, we chatted up a couple
of the park staff for a bit.
 |
| Bill even brought me a coffee |
Bill went back to the Suite and I
connected to their free wi-fi. Yay! This is how my blog will get posted while
we are here, since it takes time to download the pics onto my blog. This is a
bonus, not having to use our gigabytes. I’ve also got my book to read and
direct connection to my sweetie with our 2-way radios.
 |
| And then came back to help fold |
The sun is shining today and that is
a plus since I thought we were supposed to get clouds and rain. Today consisted
of a few walks and a lot of picture taking. The hot tub was open so Bill and I
have made plans to go tomorrow afternoon if weather permits, since it is an
outside Jacuzzi.
 |
| Tomorrow we'll check this out |
 |
| Too bad this beautiful pool won't be open |
On my 3rd walk around, I
stopped and picked up three novels for Bill and I to read. That should keep us
busy for a few days.
 |
| Lounge at Adult Centre |
 |
| Movies, puzzles |
 |
| and a cozy area for 4 to curl up in |
We had planned smoked pork chops for supper
so started their prep around 5 or so. I made up a salad and steamed some
cauliflower while Bill bbq’d. I was happy to see that Bill was working on a
blog post today. You can check it out here.
 |
These big trucks go in and out of here many times a day
We don't know what they're hauling, yet. |
 |
| Not sure what kind of bird this is but he posed for me |
 |
| Truly beautiful scenery here |
After eating and cleaning up I
finished my book. Oh, my goodness, it was a nail biter and I have the thumbnail
chewed down to prove it. Deliver Us From Evil by David Baldacci.
 |
| another big old tree |
 |
| An abundance of squirrels |
 |
although some ran from me, the odd one seemed to
ask me what the heck was I doing there |
 |
| Unusual bark on this small tree |
 |
| Butt Rock? Hmmm. |
Bill and I watched a couple of huge
motor coaches pull in across the way and we both are amazed at how they climb
this mountain. We’ll have to chat it up with them before they leave.
 |
This unit is parked beside us. He obviously climbed
the mountain pulling this Charger |
 |
| That is our rig back through this tree lined path |
We watched some television before
calling it a night. I’m falling in love with this park, despite the let-downs
but unless Bill gets a better feel for the drive in and out, we probably won’t
make it back anytime soon.
 |
| Biggest pine cones I ever saw |
 |
| I take size 8 in case you're wondering |
 |
| Well, how did I manage this photo? |
 |
| sometimes a gal has to get creative |
I hope you’ve had a great day, as we
have. Thanks for following. Any and all comments are welcome.
