Apple Valley

Apple Valley is a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States. It was incorporated on May 20, 2007, and is one of the cities of the Victor Valley area. The population was 69,924 at the 2010 census.

Apple Valley has had several names since its inception as a campsite for travelers on Highway 66: Village of Apple Valley, Afton, and Avion Estates before adopting its current name. In 1933 during the Great Depression construction began on Ridge Route Road (now called Interstate 15) which ran from Barstow to Los Angeles through what would become known as "Ridgecrest". This road cut through an area known as "Apple Valley" where these families settled down making it their permanent residence over time while maintaining ties with their former homes around Los Angeles County; hence they were referred to as "apple growers" or "apple farmers".

Helendale

Helendale is a census-designated place (CDP) in San Bernardino County, California, United States. The population was 2,621 at the 2010 census, up from 1,923 at the 2000 census. It is located about 45 miles northeast of Los Angeles and about 60 miles east of Palm Springs.

Helendale lies at an elevation of 3,558 feet (1,085 m). It is located along State Route 138 between Barstow and Needles on Interstate 15; Helendale Road runs through the town from south to north with several businesses on each side including auto parts stores and gas stations as well as restaurants such as Arby's fast food franchise serving roast beef sandwiches along with other items like curly fries or onion rings; Burger King sells hamburgers but not breakfast sandwiches here so they don't serve hash browns either because they can't compete with McDonald's who offers both breakfast sandwiches along with hash browns which are often eaten together during rush hour traffic jams when people are stuck waiting for other cars ahead before being able to move again

(323) 692-1060

[livinginlandmarketing]

Nothing moves on Ragsdale Road. Cars whiz past on the 10 Freeway about 100 yards away.

At an abandoned gas station, the pumps are stripped of their outer shells and wiring. The convenience store is covered in graffiti, its door kicked in, contents looted. Nearby restrooms are smashed and unworkable, but the stench suggests that hasn’t stopped everyone from using them. The sign over the station announces 24-hour service, a claim that hasn’t been true in years.

Desert Center doesn’t look like it’s worth $6.25 million.

That’s what Riverside resident Balwinder Singh Wraich paid at auction July 13 for the 1,034.78 acres of property in and around Desert Center. What he does with the land could radically transform a region that’s home to people who’ve spent generations in desert solitude.

Here’s what else $6 million can get you in today’s Southern California real estate market:

A 3,200-square foot Palm Springs house, designed by architect Ray Kappe, with spectacular views of the city and surrounding mountains.

A 6,000-square foot, six-bedroom, seven-bathroom “retreat” in Malibu Canyon, on an 8-acre property.

A 3,750-square foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom house literally on the beach in Dana Point.

But Desert Center is a largely empty desert outpost in the Chuckwalla Valley, about 50 miles from either Blythe or Indio, almost exactly halfway between Los Angeles and Phoenix. The land Wraich bought includes two gas stations, a cafe, a hotel, store, school and the gravesite of a former cafe cook — all abandoned.

Desert Center has no city council or other government. But the U.S. Census Bureau lists it as a spot where people have come together, even though it’s not a formal town or city. The bureau estimates 216 people lived there in 2019, with a median age of 70.6 years old.

The Desert Center Unified School District teaches 29 students, according to the California Department of Education, ranging from kindergarten through 8th grade. The district operates just one of its former five schools. The others shut down after Kaiser Steel’s nearby Eagle Mountain mine closed in 1983. High school students travel about 50 miles each way to attend classes in Blythe. The shell of a former school, caked in graffiti, with broken glass and ceramic tile covering the floor, is visible to freeway motorists zipping past Desert Center.

The road behind

According to legend, in 1915, Kansas-born Stephen Ragsdale and his wife Lydia were driving to Los Angeles, before breaking down on the dirt wagon road between Blythe and Indio. Rescued by a prospector, Ragsdale saw opportunity in the other motorists crossing the Colorado Desert.

“He’d seen numerous people who had been unprepared crossing the desert, so he conceived of the idea of having a rest stop at the halfway point,” said Steve Lech, a historian and author who co-writes The Press-Enterprise’s Back in the Day local history column. “That’s why he called it Desert Center: It was kind of a marketing ploy.”

Opened in September 1921, Desert Center was a family affair.

“He would run the tow truck and pump gas. His wife would run the cafe and do the cooking,” Lech said. “He had two sons and a daughter and they would do auto repairs and work at the center.”

Ragsdale, rebranding himself “Desert Steve,” had dreams of expanding Desert Center, according to Lech. But Ragsdale believed in temperance: Even after Prohibition ended in 1933, he didn’t want tenants to serve or sell alcohol. His lawyer said Ragsdale couldn’t legally prohibit alcohol. So Desert Center stayed small.

Margit Chiriaco Rusche’s parents started the competing community and rest stop of Chiriaco Summit, 19 miles to the west, on the western rim of the Chuckwalla Valley. They spent decades as frenemies of the Ragsdales.  According to Rusche, Steve Ragsdale vowed to “run that upstart Italian out of town” when Joe and Ruth Chiriaco moved there in 1933.

“It was very remote,” Rusche said. “As little kids, we pumped gas, we made hamburgers.”

Today, she’s CEO of Chiriaco Summit. It offers food, gas and the General Patton Memorial Museum for road-weary travelers. A motel and a mobile home and RV park are planned.

After his death in 1971, Ragsdale’s son Stanley ran Desert Center until he died in 1999. He kept it small, turning down offers from fast-food chains and others who wanted to “improve” the outpost.

Stanley’s six kids couldn’t agree on how to manage the businesses, so Desert Center gradually shut down. Their battle spent two decades in probate court. It might be the longest probate case in county history, according to Paula Turner, the real estate agent whose Coachella Valley firm handled the sale.

“I haven’t sold a town before,” she said. “This is my first town!”

Even before the auction, Rusche had tried to buy a piece of Desert Center more than once.

“When they were closing down, we were going through a contract to lease the (Desert Center) coffee shop to update it. Thousands and thousands of dollars later, one of the brothers said ‘No, not with a Chiriaco,’” she said.

Rusche then tried to buy part of the property, but the family member selling it didn’t have the clear legal right to do so.

Finally, Riverside County had enough.

“The judge said ‘It’s been 20 years, we’re putting it up for auction,’” Rusche said.

Wraich did not respond to repeated requests for comment. His family runs the Fontana-based trucking company Wraich Transport, which includes the Wraich Travel Plaza truck stop in Fontana.

The property was put up for auction for $5 million, before Wraich outbid Rusche, winning Desert Center with a $6.25 million bid. That brought an end to the Ragsdales’ ownership of the community founded by their patriarch. Members of the Ragsdale family declined to comment.

“That’s how it goes,” Rusche said. “We decided that dirt wasn’t worth that much money.”

In the end, the Chiriacos did get a bit of Desert Center, purchasing a totem pole that once stood outside the cafe. It will be going up at Chiriaco Summit soon, Rusche said.

The here and now

Trucks idle in vacant lots, curtains drawn as drivers presumably get some sleep.

The roof of the Desert Center Market is caved in, roof beams crashed down around empty ice cream and soda refrigerators. A sign in the window reads “Sorry, we’re closed.”

Someone appears to have walked away from the boarded-up cafe mid-cleaning. A bottle of Windex and a roll of paper towels on a table caked in a thick layer of dust are visible through the windows.

Only the U.S. Post Office is still open. The other three shops in the tiny strip mall are long since closed. They seem to have shut down mid-renovation, with paint cans and drop clothes covered in dust visible inside.

“They let it go really bad,” said Harold Copeland, whose first job was working at Desert Center in 1977. “They should have sold something a long time ago and made something of it.”

Few live in Desert Center today. The biggest nearby population center is at Lake Tamarisk, 2 1/2 miles away. A few dozen homes cluster around a county-run nine-hole golf course. The residents are mostly “hermits,” according to one.

Copeland grew up in Eagle Mountain, moving there in 1967. He now lives in Indio, but his mother still lives at Lake Tamarisk.

“They love it out there because it’s just so quiet,” Copeland said. “The streets rolled up at 6 o’clock, but we learned to live with it.”

The lack of things to do in the Chuckwalla Valley is part of the attraction for some.

“There’s no temptations,” said Adrianna Ornales, taking a midday dip in Lake Tamarisk with other members of the Set Free church congregation. The pool at the nearby community center is dry and the center itself locked up. It was 104 degrees at midafternoon on July 30.

Ornales moved to Desert Center in 2018, along with about four dozen other members of her church, to escape the seductions of the big city.

“It’s our little safety bubble out here,” she said.

Ornales works at Lake Tamarisk’s one-room library, open three days a week, that shares a building with the small county firehouse.

She hopes Wraich can bring Desert Center back to life.

“I hope he does something with it,” Ornales said. “More job opportunities, so people can get on their feet.”

The other big population center is Lake Tamarisk Resort, a mobile home and RV park for those 55 years old and up. Many of the 150 trailers and RV spots are empty now, the snowbirds flown away to cooler climes. Once upon a time, it was a park for high-end Airstream trailers. Before that, it served the World War II era Desert Training Center first run by Major Gen. George S. Patton.

Brenda Cervantes, who with her husband has managed the resort about a year, also wants to see Desert Center revitalized.

“They need some business brought back here,” she said. “People call and say ‘Where’s your gas station?’”

The nearest one is 19 miles away, in Chiriaco Summit. Groceries mean a 50-mile trip to Blythe or Indio.

“We’re self-sufficient,” Rusche said. “That’s part of being desert people.”

Cervantes believes Desert Center can be restored without losing the quiet isolation residents enjoy.

“We’re hoping something good comes in,” Cervantes said.

But no one ends up staying in Desert Center by accident.

“We’re our own little oasis out here,” Cervantes said. “Most everyone comes here because it’s out of the way.”

Copeland has high hopes for Wraich’s Desert Center.

“I think they’ll build a big truck stop right there and maybe houses or condos for the people who work there,” Copeland said.

Rusche is skeptical. Desert Center doesn’t have its own source of potable water, she said. And the historic buildings will need to be completely torn down.

Wraich has “got a lot of hoops to jump through,” Rusche said. “He’s got to get through the county process, which is hard.”

She thinks the land is best suited for something modest.

“Why build a truck stop in California so close to the border where they can get their gas so much cheaper than they can here?” Rusche said. “To me, it doesn’t make that much sense.”

Change has come to the desert, of course. North of Lake Tamarisk, a huge solar farm has gone in. And in cooler weather, visitors race at the Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. But most days are quiet, especially during the hottest days of summer.

Whatever else might change, Chuckwalla Valley residents say the desert’s appeal is eternal.

“It’s a really tight community still,” Copeland said.

When skeptics ask him about growing up in the Chuckwalla Valley, “I say ‘how many friends do you hang out with from your high school?’ And they say none, because there were 500 people in their graduating class. I still see everyone, because there were 35 in my graduation class.”

His graduating class still gets together annually, he said.

“It would be hard for me to live anywhere else,” Rusche said. “We have freedom and we have the mountains that are a different color every time you look at them.”

But for now, the traffic on the 10 keeps racing past.

5 Great Winter RV Destinations in California: Year 2021

In the winter months, California attracts RVers from the rest of the United States. Theirs is nowhere else in the country where you can enjoy all of the weather in one state. Winter temperatures are cool to mild in most parts of California, except in the high mountains range and the far northern part of the state. In fact, on a sunny day, you can feel warm enough to put on your bathing suit and lay out on the beach in the middle of January.

Doing RVing in Southern California is a great option for anyone looking to warm up and have some fun during the winter. In San Diego, for example, the temperature rarely gets below an average 65 degrees during the winter, making it more than bearable. To help you get started planning your winter trip, check out five of the great places we suggest to go RVing in Southern California.

1. Discover the Joshua Tree National Park and Surroundings

Located on the southern end of the Mojave Desert, the Joshua Tree Lake R.V. & Campground is a great place to spend holidays during winter. There is a plenty of things to do in and around the National Park. Here are three of the must do’s in the area:

·         Palm Springs Tram

·         Desert Hot Springs (mineral baths)

·         Mitchell Caverns

2. Whale Watching Tours in San Diego

We recommend spending time in San Diego with the best part being a whale watching tour. Unless you live on the coast area, perhaps the only time you will ever see whales is on television. In the winter, you should be looking out for Pacific Gray Whales as they make their annual journey from Alaska to Mexico’s Baja lagoons where they will give birth to calves. The Chula Vista RV Resort is a great tourist attraction.

3. Horse Riding and Beaches in Malibu

The famous Malibu beaches are a year round tourist destination with Malibu Beach RV Park providing quality amenities. With the beach as your first stop, you’ll get a chance to totally relax and unwind yourself. If you’re more of the enthusiast explorer, you’ll have miles of coastline to hike and discover. If you want something different, you can also enjoy horse rides year round on private property that has great views of canyons, promontories and of course the Pacific Ocean.

4. Visit Death Valley

Death Valley is actually a desert in the eastern California. Death Valley is known as the holder of some of the highest temperatures ever recorded on earth. In the winter the temperatures are manageable but can go extremely cold as well. Death Valley National Park is huge and you can spend a good few days there and not even scratch the surface of everything the park has to offer. RVing is not suitable in many places of the park so be sure to discuss with local rangers before you plan a day trip.

5. Take in the Sights of Los Angeles

It may be cliché, but Los Angeles is a destination that needs to be explored. Walnut RV Park is a great base for you as you avoid the busy inner roads of the city to get to key destinations. Universal Studios, Hollywood Sign, Griffith Park Observatory and Santa Monica Pier are all within 30 miles of the park. What else you want!

Travel Tips

ü  Keep an update on roads closed in winter.

ü  Don’t miss the whale-watching season along many parts of the California coast.

ü  Be cautious when driving in the rain, especially during the first rain after a dry spell when accumulated surface oil makes the road even more slippery.

Just because it is winter, doesn’t mean you have to take cover or hibernate like a bear. Southern California is a great place to escape in your RV this winter. Don’t forget to protect your RV with an RV Roof coating before you head out.

Things To Do In Joshua Tree National Park

We are excited to share this guest post from Fummins Family Road Trip on things to do in Joshua Tree National Park. Joshua Tree is an amazing national park with so much to offer! Keep reading to learn about some of the best activities in the park: 

Our family of 7 has been traveling North America in our RV since September of 2016. In that time we have visited countless National Parks all over the United States and Canada, but there is only 1 national park we have visited on numerous occasions in every year we have been on the road: Joshua Tree National Park. So if you’re looking for things to do in Joshua Tree, you’re in the right place!

What Is Joshua Tree National Park  

Joshua Tree National Park is a true desert wilderness that is best described as a big playground illustrated by Dr Seuss. Some say the Joshua Trees were the inspiration for the Truffula Trees used in many of his books. 

This national park is close to 800,000 acres that covers part of the Mojave Desert and sits on the San Andreas Fault. There are visitor centers at both the North and South entrances for you to stop for a map and learn about any ranger lead programs going on in the park.

Location

Joshua Tree is located in Southern California just a few hours outside Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix and is accessible on the south side from I-10 or on the north from State Highway 62. We have be to Joshua Tree so many times and we have used all 3 of the entrances. We have used the southern one primarily due to its close proximity to Palm Springs and some great BLM Boondocking just outside of the Cottonwood Visitors center.

What You Should Bring

Bring plenty of water, especially if you plan to do any hiking. The visitor centers do have water available, but out and about in the park it is not. Also make sure you bring comfortable footwear and warm and/or cooler cloths. The weather can be a bit bipolar and change at the drop of a hat. It is typically windy and very dry throughout the park.

Visitors Centers/Entering The Park

There are 3 different visitor centers in Joshua Tree that you can visit: Joshua Tree Visitor Center at the Village of Joshua Tree, Oasis Visitor Center at the Twentynine Palms entrance and the Cottonwood Visitor Center at the south end of the park off of I-10. You shouldn’t feel the need to visit all 3, use the one closest to the entrance you enter through. Our kids are avid Jr. Rangers and you can pick up Jr. Ranger books at any one of the 3, and return the completed books to any of them as well.

Things To Do

So now that you’re at Joshua Tree, what is there to do? In addition to all of the driving tours to check out the native Joshua Trees, this park is packed with outdoor adventures such as: Hiking, biking, rock climbing, spectacular overlook views or star gazing in the dark desert night sky. 

Ranger Led Talks

We have caught many ranger led talks during our visits there; you can get the schedule at any of the visitor’s centers, but need to make sure to find out the location of the program and give yourself enough time to drive to the venue as the talks are spread throughout the park and not usually in the same place twice in one day. These are usually free of charge and highly informative. You can find the NPS calendar for Joshua Tree National Park here.

Rock Climbing

We are not rock climbers whatsoever, but this park is loaded with climbing routes, bouldering, highlining and slacklining opportunities. Our kids love all of the scrambling in the area and, as they get older, I am sure that we’ll have to start doing some real rock climbing and this will be the perfect place for them to learn the sport.

Arch Rock Trail

Our kids absolutely love the Arch Rock Trail that starts inside the White Tank Campground. It is an eighth of a mile hike up to a natural arch within the granite formations that our kids love scrambling and climbing all over. The trailhead in the campground has restrooms, ample parking and picnic areas available making it a great place to spend a couple hours, an entire afternoon or a couple days!

Hidden Valley Trail

One of our favorite hikes in the park is Hidden Valley. This mile loop trail winds around massive boulders and is a great place to watch the rock climbers in action. This is one of the most scenic trails in the park and is packed with history that dates back to the 1930’s when it was used as a cattle rustlers hideout. One thing we learned the hard way, if you set out on this hike in the evening, take a flashlight!

Cholla Cactus Garden Nature Trail

If you drive down Pinto Basin Road to or from the southern part of the park you will come across the Cholla Cactus Garden Nature Trail. This roadside stop is a great place to check out the many different types of cactus! It’s a great nature trail that is good for all ages! During our first trip to the Cholla Cactus Garden, Emmett, our youngest, who had just learned to walk, navigated this trail with ease!

Skull Rock

If you know us at all, you’ll know that we love pirates; so we could not pass up a photo opportunity with a place called Skull Rock! This roadside area located just behind the Jumbo Rocks Campground is a great place for the kids to play. There is plenty of parking and lots of rock scrambling opportunities so the kids love the Skull Rock area!

Keys View

About a 20 minute drive from the North West entrance of the park is Keys View. This is a perfect place to watch a sunrise or sunset. This easily accessible viewpoint provides spectacular views of Palm Springs, Salton Sea, the San Andreas Fault and even as far as Mexico! This quarter mile round trip path is wheelchair accessible and something you won’t want to miss.

Stargazing

We have stayed well into the evening a few times. Joshua Tree comes to life after dark, and we have really enjoyed looking for critters. Pack a dinner and some flashlights and just enjoy the quiet night sky. We have also stayed later and brought out telescopes. It is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of southern California to provide you with some spectacular star gazing.

Salton Sea

If you have seen everything you wanted to see at Joshua Tree, but still have some time, head south toward the Salton Sea. This area is filled with some interesting things. Don’t let the names scare you, but Salvation Mountain; Slab City and East Jesus are worth a trip.

Where To Eat

Pappy & Harriets

If you are looking for some local flavor, be sure to check out Pappy & Harriets. This cantina located in Pioneertown was originally built in the 1940s as a western style movie set and was used to film more than 50 films and television programs. It’s located on State Route 62 about 4 miles northeast of Yucca Valley outside the north entrance. This western BBQ honky-tonk has great food, live music and once hosted the likes of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry while it was a movie set.

Where To Stay

Since we are fulltime RVers, we always have our house with us, and have explored Joshua Tree from a several different places in the area. There are 9 campgrounds with 500 total sites within the national park that are first come first serve in the summer or can be booked through recreation.gov during the busier winter months. Unfortunately our RV is much larger than the 25’ maximum length that is in most of these campgrounds so we have had to use alternative options.

RV/Camping

We have spent a lot of time at Palm Springs RV Resort about an hour away in Palm Desert, so most of our Joshua Tree explorations have started from there. The Joshua Tree South BLM is also a favorite of ours offering free dry camping just outside the southern Cottonwood Springs gate. Although this spot is a little bit of a drive to the main parts of the park, we really enjoy the views and don’t mind the drive.

There are many campgrounds and RV parks throughout the area from Palm Springs to Twentynine Palms offering camping options for all shapes and sizes of RV’s or amenities needed. If you’re not into RVing or camping, there are countless motels, hotels or Airbnb to choose from in the area.

Don’t have an RV? Rent one! Check out Outdoorsy, it is kinda like AirBnB for RV’s! 

AirBNB

The Town of Joshua Tree is well known for its small businesses and artsy atmosphere. There are some really fun and artistic AirBnB’s in the area that would be perfect for kids! They are bright and colorful and have some interesting and beautiful features, check out a few below:

Hotels

The hotel options in the actual town of Joshua Tree are a little rough as it is a small and rustic town. However, just a few miles over you can find some nice places to hang your hat for the evening with all of the amenities, especially a pool in that desert heat!

This Holiday Inn Express and Suites is only a couple miles away from Joshua Tree National Park!

You can also see a full list of hotels in and around the area here.

Crazy for Coachella: 4 Rockin’ Hot Spots Available in SoCal Desert

realtor.com; iStock

Hundreds of thousands of music fans will break out their flower crowns, gauzy tunics, and artfully ripped jean shorts to descend on the Southern California desert to rock out at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (headlined by Beyoncé). In 2017, around 250,000 fans attended the music fest. Groups of friends are quick to snap up places to stay within easy reach of the performance venues, whether they’re glamping, staying in an RV park, or lounging at a resort.

To celebrate Coachella, we’ve spotted some hot desert properties worthy of a lengthy encore. You can pick up a permanent pad, an investment rental, or even a boutique spa to call your own.

And if you’re a repeat festival attendee, you’ll know you can count on your friends to visit at least once a year. Bonus: No more need to pitch a tent!

So slap on some sunscreen, don your oversize shades, and take a tour of these stunning desert digs.

Sagewater Spa, Desert Hot Springs, CA

Price: $1,995,000 Hot spot: Say “ah” to the spa. Away from the madding crowds (about 30 minutes from Coachella), you can become proprietor of a boutique hotel and spa.

Sagewater Spa, located in the area known as Spa City, has been in business from the early 2000s. Owners and business partners Rhoni Epstein and Cristina Pestana bought the Mid-Century Modern hotel in 2000 in a “state of disrepair,” Epstein recalls.

The two spent a year remodeling the eight- bed, eight-bath retreat (there are seven guest rooms and an office), adding a new roof and windows.

“It was a dump. We turned it into something fabulous,” she says. The New York Times called it “a restful modernist haven.”

The retreat, with its geothermal pools and spa treatments, is open only to guests (it doesn’t offer a day spa). The clean lines, luxe amenities, and attention to details (e.g., Frette linens and kitchen areas in every room) have garnered repeat visits from Hollywood types who appreciate the spa’s simplicity, privacy, and luxury—in addition to its curative waters.

About 60% of the spa’s clients are repeat customers, Epstein estimates. Famous names who have enjoyed the place include actor and podcaster Marc Maron and DJ Diplo.

“Something happens when you enter our space,” says Epstein, who is originally from Boston. Even with many of the guests coming from Los Angeles, a two-hour drive, “there’s no one performing, no [fake] eyelashes in the pool. No one’s changing their bathing suit twice a day.”

She adds, ”they get what they need to refuel. Quiet is the new luxury.”

Just 15 minutes from Palm Springs and Palm Desert, Sagewater Spa is currently rated No. 1 on TripAdvisor.

Epstein notes that the massage and treatment therapists, who are freelancers, could stay on under new ownership. With additional lots surrounding the spa, there’s room to grow the business with such additions as a day spa, yoga center, or meditation retreat. Say om to your new home.

But perhaps running a hotel and spa isn’t your idea of relaxation. Fret not, there are plenty of other ways to stay in the desert! Here are a few other fabulous finds close to the action of Coachella.

3068 Linea Ter, Palm Springs, CA

Price: $2.85 million Hot spot: While the area is known for Mid-Century Modern design, this home is strictly modern. The brand-new build is located in a gated neighborhood of 14 “ultraluxury” homes.

The work of designer Andrew Adler and architect Anthony Poon, the high-end development offers all-white architectural estates on nearly half-acre lots in the heart of South Palm Canyons. This 4,500-square-foot home has four bedrooms, walls of glass, an outdoor lounge with pool, and mountain views.

1999 S Joshua Tree Pl, Palm Springs, CA

Price: $1,895,000 Hot spot: Built in 1965, this home was designed by architect Hal Levitt. Though it’s been “extensively remodeled,” the space still has some of its Mid-Century Modern origins, including the isosceles trapezoidal piers framing the front windows.

Highlights include a floating fireplace, Moroccan-style tiles, four bedroom suites, and an interior open atrium. Terrazzo interior floors extend to the pool and spa out back.

1011 W Cielo Dr, Palm Springs, CA

Price: $2,795,000 Hot spot: Designed in 1956 by Walter S. White, who worked with Frank Lloyd Wright, Albert Frey, and Rudolf Schindler, this 3,200-square-foot home offers spectacular views of Coachella Valley. It has three bedrooms, a wall of windows on its south side, circular fireplace, White-designed steel pendant chandelier, and steel staircase done by Frey. The circular motif continues outdoors, with a perfectly round pool.

Southwest Desert Rambling

Thursday March 9- Saturday March 11 We sadly bid the Hastings adieu and headed west. We had thought of going to Yosemite but the heavy rains had washed away the southern entrance. Instead we headed to the southeast in search of desert blooming flowers. The whole of California's has been rejoicing in the heavy rains that has ended the five year drought. Driving across the valley we found a right hand turn at a gas station named Blackwell's. It was the last stop that Jimmy Dean made before his fatal car crash. Who would know? Four hours later, we arrived at Lancaster town: a flat, dry area with a few hills but no trees. On the south side of town was Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve - a several hundred acre area with several low hills wrapped with walking trails. The volunteer rangers gleefully told us where poppies had been spotted. We wandered and saw a few patches of 30 - 40 blooms. They were nice but not overwhelming. The season was just beginning and prospects did look good for a huge bloom in the next week or so. Onto Victorville . We had found a private campground but when we got there it was so sleazy that we ended up at a comfort inn. The next day's goal was Joshua Tree national Park. We arrived in the early afternoon and confirmed that there were no campground sites. Instead we found a site at twenty-nine palms. It was a large gravel area with a tree planted for each site. Additionally there was a large man made pond which advertised fishing for carp and poi. The water also attracted a lot of birds which was fun. Joshua Tree was great. There were rock climbers and many funny looking boulders. We took a mile long walk around boulders that included a pond. (In the late 1800's the area was receiving 10" instead of 3" of rain a year as it is now and there were a cattle ranchers roaming around looking for grass and individual miners for gold.) Now the Park includes the transition between e Sonoran and Colorado deserts and lots of funky looking, but beautiful Joshua Trees. Also some magnificent views. Desert wild flowers were not happening in the northern park (the Colorado Desert), but were starting to get quite abundant in the south of the park along with the heat index, getting as high as 90 degrees. We took a few short walks through the fields of yellow and purple. Best find was a blooming beaver tail cactus, with Christmas red blossoms, just south of the southern park entrance.Cars were parked on every shoulder. One local person was elated with his fancy camera: he said five years of drought had been difficult. We coasted down the western side of Salton Sea. There were abandoned and destroyed cottages that were coveted places in the 1950s when the water level was higher and cleaner. It was hot, arid, and depressing. Westward to the reported flowers bloom (by Liz's friend and artist, Anne) at Anza-Berregio Springs State Park. Traveling through fifty miles of the "Bad Lands " we spotted many RVs camped wherever they desired. Many had ATVs that they zoomed around the desert. Later we found the Imperial Sand Dune Park where venders sold t-shirts to the hundreds of weekend RTVers in the sand dunes. We found Berrigo Springs and so did thousands of other people. Apparently they had internet access as well. There were miles of parked cars at the four corners that designated the town. The park staff were overwhelmed. We found the recommended areas, without waiting 2 hours to get into the visitors center, but the flowers were sparser than at Joshua. Rob collapsed as Gay drove out of town. We passed south of Salton Sea and travelled through miles of sand dunes and then flat irrigated vegetable and hay fields and a couple of cattle feed lots. As the sun set, we climbed back north to interstate 10 and found a $45 Comfort Inn and collapsed.

The Ultimate Two-Week California National Park Road Trip Itinerary • The Blonde Abroad

Rachel + Dana of Traveling Found Love are here today sharing this epic California national park road trip itinerary!

One thing is for sure, California’s vibrant cities and the stunning Pacific Coast Highway attracts millions of visitors every year. We loved walking on the Santa Monica Pier and admiring the amazing views on Highway 1 but what really left us speechless was the inner part of California.

As outdoor lovers, we are always up for an adventure in a national park. On this route, you will pass through five exceptional parks with undeniably gorgeous landscapes and some of North America’s greatest natural wonders.

From the lowest point in Death Valley National Park to the highest waterfall in Yosemite National Park and not to forget the largest tree in the world in Sequoia National Park.

Ready to get off the beaten path for an unforgettable 2-week California national park road trip from San Diego to South Lake Tahoe?

We would recommend doing this road trip from spring to fall since there can be road and trail closures in some parks due to snow in the winter months.

When Should You Take This Route?

The National Parks and Lake Tahoe are beautiful all year round and each season will provide you with different and unique experiences in the parks. From beautiful wildflowers in the spring in Death Valley to the incredible fall foliage around Lake Tahoe.

Nevertheless, we would recommend doing this road trip from spring to fall since there can be road and trail closures in some parks due to snow in the winter months. To stay up to date on road information and conditions it is best to check the national park website before your trip.

We completed our trip during the summer. The weather was always beautiful and sunny but extremely hot, especially in Death Valley and Joshua Tree National Park.

If your trip includes outdoor activities, it is best to complete them in the early morning or late afternoon. You will want to limit these activities during the middle of the day since you can experience scorching temperatures. Always remember to have lots of water with you!

Our 14-Day Road Trip Itinerary

Day 1-3: San Diego

Day 4-5: Joshua Tree National Park

Day 6-7: Death Valley National Park

Day 8: Sequoia National Park

Day 9: Kings Canyon National Park

Day 1-3: San Diego

San Diego is a must-see city on the West Coast and one of our ultimate favorites.

It offers a lively downtown area with awesome nightlife possibilities, tons of beaches to unplug, wildlife encounters at La Jolla Cove, and incredible parks to wander around in.

When you want to combine a relaxing afternoon on the beach and a unique hiking experience, don’t miss out on the Ho Chi Minh trail which brings you right to the shore. It is a bit of a climb through a sandstone passage but we had a lot of fun on this little adventure.

Best Things to Do and See in San Diego:

Visit the famous San Diego Zoo

Stroll around Balboa Park

Experience Downtown: Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, Little Italy

Admire the sea life at La Jolla Cove

Hike the Ho Chi Minh Trail, a unique hiking trail that leads you to the Blacks Beach

Soak up the sun on one of San Diego beaches: Mission Beach, Pacific Beach

Go on a hike through Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve for stunning overlooks of the Pacific Ocean.

Catch a sunset at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park

Where to Stay in and Around San Diego

Ranchos Los Coches RV Park (20 minutes east of San Diego) This family-owned campground is a great place for RV traveling and tent camping. Another plus is the prices are cheaper since you are a little outside the city.

Keep your eyes open for wildlife on your hikes! We were lucky to spot a chuckwalla (lizard) and a rattlesnake underneath a rock.

Trip Additions

We take every chance to admire colorful street art and artsy creations wherever we go. If you are also into art, take the 50 minutes detour to Salvation Mountain on your way to Joshua Tree National Park. It is just a quick stop but the visionary environment on the hill is indescribable, it is best to see it for yourself!

When you have some extra time, make a stop at Las Vegas on your way to Death Valley National Park for a little sinful fun on the Las Vegas Strip.

For more original Vegas vibes, don’t miss out on the “old strip” around Fremont Street. Here you find beautiful original casinos that are worth checking out even when you are not into gambling.

A great way to end the day is to go to one of the dozen buffets which serve whatever you can imagine. Our all-time favorite is the Wicked Spoon. Make sure to arrive hungry…

Lastly, if you have even more time, think about making a loop back to San Diego via the California coast.

Helpful Tips

For those who want a time out from technology, this is your chance to unplug and enjoy the view, feel, and smell of nature because you will be lucky to find any service while in the parks.

If you are traveling by campervan or RV, we recommend campendium.com to find cheap or free spots to stay for the night. Campgrounds in the national parks in California book out months in advance, so make sure that you reserve your favorite campsite in time.

But don’t worry, even when you can’t get a site on a campground, there are National Forests and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land where you can stay completely for free.

Another great way to save money on this 2-week California national park road trip is to purchase an America the Beautiful pass. This pass will give you access to a full year of national park adventures all over the USA.

Wintry Weather Tenting in California

California has blessed us outdoor enthusiasts with a selection of different landscapes and climates to enjoy. And even as the high sierras are covered in snow, the Mojave wasteland and Pacific Coast beckon campers to come back and experience their wintry weather beauty. The seaside is normally the first-class vicinity to visit escape the cold inland winters thanks to the moderate temperatures skilled yr spherical. Of course for authentic adventure seekers there also are possibilities for snow tenting inside the higher elevations, so why not pair a ski trip with a tenting ride? irrespective of where you pick, these locations are downright lovely, but few humans have experienced this splendor inside the wintertime. they are calling so as to come go to!

Angel Island - Northern California / San Francisco Bay area

As a Bay location resident i'm very fond of Angel Island... while it is not overflowing with people. it's far a quick ride to anybody within the Bay region of Sacramento regions, and it has without a doubt spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay, inclusive of the San Francisco Skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge and views of Tiburon and Sausalito. Rain and thick fog are not unusual for Bay vicinity winters however relative to the relaxation of Northern California the temperatures are pleasantly mild. The past five years have seen very dry winters inside the Bay way to the terrible drought we've got experience, but this year's El Nino has already poured rain across the nation, so expect moist climate if you pick out to visit Angel Island this wintry weather. From December through March daylight hours high temperatures average fifty six-sixty one levels fahrenheit and middle of the night lows common forty one-forty five stages fahrenheit, so there honestly is not too much distinction among night and day. The jap side of the island is better sheltered from the sea breezes however the western side gives a the front row view of terrific sunsets below the Golden Gate Bridge. East Bay web sites and sunrise sites are placed on the japanese side of the island close to castle McDowell. Ridge websites and Kayak Camp are located on the western facet of the island close to Camp Reynolds. For extra records on the campsites check out the brochure and park map from the park's website. note that some of the data is previous but maximum continues to be relevant.

Getting to Angel Island is half of the amusing of the experience.

REDDING, Calif. (AP) — A deadly Northern California wildfire that destroyed hundreds of homes in and around the city of Redding expanded into more rural areas Saturday where scorching heat, winds and bone-dry conditions complicated firefighting efforts.

Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said 14 people had been reported missing after the furious wind-driven blaze took residents by surprise and leveled several neighborhoods, though he added that the homes of most of those unaccounted for were still standing.  

Among the missing were two children and their great-grandmother who were stranded at a rural home when the fire blew up Thursday night, jumped the wide Sacramento River into Redding and leveled several neighborhoods.

Family members were desperately seeking any information on the whereabouts of Melody Bledsoe, 70, and her two great-grandchildren, James Roberts, 5, and Emily Roberts, 4, though they were prepared for a worst-case scenario after a family member visited what remained of the house where they were last seen.

"It looked like a war zone," said Jason Decker, who viewed the smoldering remains. "I couldn't smell death in the air, which is good."

The fire that was ignited Monday in forested hills grew overnight to 127 square miles (328 square kilometers). It pushed southwest of Redding, about 250 miles (402 kilometers) north of San Francisco and the largest city in the region with about 92,000 residents, toward tiny communities of Ono, Igo and Gas Point.

It’s now the largest of more than 20 fires burning in California. The winds that aided firefighters in keeping the flames from more populated areas were propelling it forward at a frightening rate.

“We’re not getting a break with the weather,” said Chris Anthony, a spokesman for Cal Fire, the state agency responsible for fighting wildfires. “It just continues to be really hot, really dry and we continue to get those winds. ... This fire’s getting so big and there are so many different parts to it.”

Two firefighters were killed and the latest tally of 500 destroyed structures was sure to rise. A count by The Associated Press found more than 300 homes destroyed.

About 37,000 people are under evacuation orders, 5,000 homes are threatened and the fire was just 5 percent contained.

Meanwhile, about 120 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of Redding, two blazes prompted mandatory evacuations in Mendocino County. The two fires, burning 30 miles (50 kilometers) apart, started Friday and are threatening more than 350 buildings. The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office ordered evacuations for people living in an area of Ukiah north of Highway 175. Residents in neighboring Benmore Valley were also told to leave Saturday.

Cal Fire officials said more than 10,000 firefighters were on the line, making progress on 14 large wildfires across California.

President Donald Trump issued an emergency declaration for California on Saturday, allowing counties affected by wildfires to receive federal assistance. In a statement, the White House said the declaration will open up the availability of necessary equipment and resources from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Huge fires continued to burn outside Yosemite National Park and in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles near Palm Springs. As of Saturday morning, these fires have burned nearly 160,000 acres (64,700 hectares) and destroyed over 500 structures. Yosemite Valley remains closed to visitors and won’t reopen until Friday.

Nationally, 89 active large fires have consumed nearly 930,000 acres (376,000 hectares) in 14 states, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. So far this year, nearly 37,000 wildfires have burned more than 4.25 million acres (1.7 million hectares).

The Carr Fire destroyed nearly all of Keswick, a hamlet just west of Redding. One of the homes lost belonged to Shyla and Jason Campbell.

Jason, a firefighter, was six hours away from his home and family, battling the fire near Yosemite, when the Carr Fire moved in with devastating speed.

“It’s huge flames, it’s coming up the hill, and everyone’s out and we’re watching it, then it goes down, and everyone’s like, ‘Oh it’s going out,’ ” said Shyla, 32. “And I’m like, ‘No, it’s going down the mountain and it’s going to come back up the next ridge.’ ”

She was right.

The family spent the night at a hotel. When Jason Campbell returned on Friday, he found their home of five years was gone, along with an RV and a boat.

“It’s tough,” Shyla Campbell said Friday as she sheltered in the city of Shasta Lake. “I just have to figure out where we’re going to stay. We’re just trying to stay away from the fire.”

Redding police chief Roger Moore was among those who lost homes.

Greg and Terri Hill evacuated their Redding home of 18 years Thursday night with little more than their medications, photo albums, clothes and firearms, assuming they’d be back home in a few days.

When they returned Friday, virtually nothing was left but fine particles of ash. It was so hot, they couldn’t walk through it to see if anything survived.

“It’s pretty emotional,” Terri Hill said. “I know it’s just stuff. A lot of memories. But we’ll make new memories and get new stuff. Everybody’s safe.”

Uncontained wildfire destroys 500 structures in California

Uncontained wildfire destroys 500 structures in California https://ift.tt/2LvbCMa Uncontained wildfire destroys 500 structures in California

REDDING, Calif. — Only a handful of homes still stand in Keswick, a small northern California community consumed by wildfire.

The air chokes with the smell of smoke and chemicals. The smouldering remains are still too hot to sift through. The so-called Carr Fire, still mostly uncontained, so thoroughly devoured homes as it roared through Shasta County that it’s hard to say how many were there just days before.

Somewhere in the ash was the home of Shyla and Jason Campbell.

Flames from the Carr Fire lick above a Cal Fire truck in Whiskeytown, Calif., on Friday, July 27, 2018.

Jason, a firefighter, was six hours away from his home and family, battling a wildfire near Yosemite Valley, when the Carr Fire moved in.

Shyla, 32, said it was nearly 2 a.m. Thursday when she got an official alert to evacuate.

“It’s huge flames, it’s coming up the hill, and everyone’s out and we’re watching it, then it goes down, and everyone’s like, ‘Oh it’s going out,’ ” she said. “And I’m like, ‘No, it’s going down the mountain and it’s going to come back up the next ridge.’ ”

She was right.

The family spent the night at a hotel. When Jason Campbell returned on Friday, he found their home of five years was gone, along with an RV and a boat.

Officials say at least 500 structures were destroyed by the Carr Fire, which also swept through the historic Gold Rush town of Shasta and hit homes in Redding, a city of 92,000 about 100 miles south of the Oregon border.

“It’s tough,” Shyla Campbell said Friday as she sheltered in the city of Shasta Lake. “I just have to figure out where we’re going to stay. We’re just trying to stay away from the fire.”

About 37,000 people remained under evacuation orders as the wreckage smouldered. Nearly 5,000 more homes were being threatened by the 75-square-mile (194-square-kilometre) blaze, which was just 5 per cent contained.

Thousands of people scrambled to escape amid flying embers before walls of flames descended from forested hills onto their neighbourhoods Thursday. At least two flaming tornados toppled trees, shook firefighting equipment and busted truck windows, taking “down everything in its path,” said Scott McLean, a spokesman for Cal Fire, the state agency responsible for fighting wildfires.

The flames moved so fast that firefighters working in oven-like temperatures and bone-dry conditions had to drop efforts to battle the blaze at one point to help people escape. Two firefighters were killed: Redding fire inspector Jeremy Stoke and a bulldozer operator whose name wasn’t immediately released. He was the second bulldozer operator to die in a California blaze in less than two weeks.

Elsewhere in California, large fires continued to burn outside Yosemite National Park and in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles near Palm Springs. Nationally, 89 active large fires have consumed nearly 930,000 acres (376,000 hectares) in 14 states, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. So far this year, nearly 37,000 wildfires have burned more than 4.25 million acres (1.72 million hectares).

“It’s pretty emotional,” Terri Hill said. “I know it’s just stuff. A lot of memories. But we’ll make new memories and get new stuff. Everybody’s safe.”

The Hills fled before they were told to, knowing danger was afoot when the power went out and helicopters suddenly began flying low overhead.

Liz Williams loaded up two kids in her car and then found herself locked in bumper-to-bumper traffic with neighbours trying to flee from Lake Redding Estates.

She eventually jumped the curb onto a sidewalk and “booked it.”

“I’ve never experienced something so terrifying in my life,” she said. “I didn’t know if the fire was just going to jump out behind a bush and grab me and suck me in.”

Fire officials warned that the blaze would probably burn deeper into urban areas before there was any hope of containing it. So far, the Carr Fire has either changed direction or was stopped before it burning into Redding’s city centre.
