Does anyone have any recommendations for a wind farm tour around Palm Springs? Cheers

Hi, back again!!

I've noticed that hotels are either near W Arenas Rd such as Desert Hills Hotel, or lower down on E palm canyon drive, such as Desert Riviera Hotel.

Where would you advise to stay that is near everything?
Thanks for your help

Hi there, we have been before to Palm Springs, think it was August last time but we are coming over 13 July this time.

We went to the Lord Fletcher Inn before. Will it be open. I have heard many restaurants are shut at this time of year. If there are any that are good and are open please let us know.

Also, apart from Vons are there any small shops to buy things for the home, i.e. meat, veg etc.for the BBQ

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks. Jane and Martyn in England

why don't all of the wind mills work? It seems everytime we go through the valley, only a portion of the mill are in motion.

Thanking you in advance for your time/help.
