Your local library will probably have travel books for free, in addition to the research you can do on the internet. (If you live in the West, flip through some back issues of Sunset Magazine, too, for the months you’ll be vacationing. I think every library in the West has it.)
Not sure what time of year you are going, but I would head down to the Palm Springs area. If you get there before it gets too hot it would be a wonderful vacation. And no mountain driving. Off season is way more affordable.
Yes , I frequent Palm Springs was there last weekend and it was already warm during day … My friend lives there so when I need a little get away I go there, but it does get hot! All the times I have gone , I have never went to the living desert, I have to try it!
Yes! it’s just me and my boys so budget wise I couldn’t do it right now… I always say Im going to start saving for a longer better vacation and then it’s summer and I didn’t !
I was just joking about your fear of driving up and down mountains.
. I get scared driving up Mt. Evens and Pikes Peak (Colorado) … Red Mountain pass is infinitely scarier! Have a good and adventurous vacation! We are heading for Disnland or bust!what is that ?? My son and I both have Android phones
Geocaching has become a worldwide phenomenon in the last several years. Essentially, what you do is find a geocaching web site and/or app and find the coordinates to a given “cache”. Then you go out to find it. A “cache” is essentially a container that has been set out for people to find. At the very least, every cache will have a piece of paper and a pencil in it so that those who find it can put their names and the date. Some caches also have small toys or other items. (The rule is that if you want to take something out of the cache, you provide something to put in it.) You then replace the cache for the next person to locate.
That sounds interesting , never heard of it ! I will google that later with the kids! thanks
