2/4/08 Monday - Heading to 29 Palms

Hello Everyone,



Monday morning it was time to leave the motel that I had spent that 11 days at. I was now heading to 29 Palms a town out in the Mojave Desert. I was hoping to find a contact given to me by an art director in Ocala, FL.

She had told me about this other art center and their work with a project of giant painted tortoises.... much on the idea of the art work I have been finding through out the country.



I arrived in 29 Palms by mid afternoon. I found the art center but it was closed on Mondays. So I decided to find a place to set up camp for the night. I found a wonderful RV resort. It is called Twenty Nine Palms Resort. Located at: 4949 Desert Knoll Ave, TwentyNine Palms, CA.

The web site for resort is http://www.29palmsresort.com/



The prices were great and there was so much they had to offer. There were places for RV's, tenting and a few cabins. They had a huge indoor pool, sauna,hot tub, golf,club house (where many other activities are held- like music, dancing,dinners), card/dart/pool room, laundry facilities, and many more amenities. I would highly recommend this resort if you are in the area and need a place to stay.



After getting settled I found a grocery store in town and got some supplies. While I was out I noticed a lot of the buildings around town had art work on them. So I started to take pictures of them.



Now the sun was getting ready to set so back to resort I headed. Had some dinner, went for a swim and then settled for the night.



It had been a great day... and I was looking forward to exploring the area more the next morning.
