BTW, we went to Sees Candies the other day and got to sample one of their chocolates and it was delicious. Kevin even bought me one of the discounted chocolate Easter eggs. :-)<br /><br />I think we saw the Visitor's Center that you are talking about but they wanted $12.50 each to get in and we weren't about to pay that. We did go for a hike though and could look down on the trail that leads to the springs from the Visitor's Center.

Pretty expensive for that old park and that time of year (most snow birds have left already)...but it's close to downtown and you pay for that convenience. There are others in the area that are nicer for same price. Although, you wouldn't be able to get into some as your coach is too old. There is a LPGA tournament at Mission Hills that will attract a fair number gay females.

All super good prices. If I had to rent on my own it would be an issue. We don't have a credit card with insurance coverage for rentals. Our only Mastercard doesn't cover that and the insurance, full coverage, is where they make their money. BTW, Enterprise is a family-owned company. living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-88491499086829121062016-04-02T20:06:41.122-04:002016-04-02T20:06:41.122-04:00Love the pics - brings back memories!
