Palm Desert Oct. 13, 2006

This is from the parking lot of the Palm Desert )just east of Palm Springs)Walmart, (where else??). We left the RV there and drove around to see the sights, and when we came back in the afternoon, the smoke from the forest fires was thick in the valley, and smelly. Can you see it in the picture? There are mountains just under the wires- that were crystal clear in the morning, almost gone in the afternoon. We headed away from it, so we didn't have to worry about it, tho it is just plain worrisome!!
