Ground Squirrels are Afraid of Heights

So ya got to do it once, that's what they say about the Palm Springs Tram, but I'll tell you something...FYI. Burrow dwelling creatures are not comfortable riding rotating trams up a 2.5 mile mountain face while suspended from a ridiculously small wire that sways a bit too easily. Just so ya know.

Going up.

Up.

And up...

And up...

Starting to feel sick...


...praying for solid ground.

Ahhhh. Made it to the top.

Down already, really? @&$@!!!!!!
Still, I recommend the tram, truly; once.

Back to my roots

friends are cashing in on some hotel points, that means yours truly got a free trip home to the desert...yay!

Ok, maybe not the most arid of places, but it is in the desert, honest...

Now where is that waiter... garçon, garçon!!

mmmm, olives.

Sure it looks comfortable, but make sure your roomates don't kick in their sleep.

OK, reality check, this high brow hotel is a far cry from my hood, but it is down the street and I ain't complaining.
