On the 18th, we left the Indio, Palm Springs area and drove over to the Elks Lodge at Garden Grove to be near our friends, Barb and Tony. Barb has been sick with the flu and Tony got called up to Jury Duty plus they were busy with plans for the Easter weekend. We were able to spend Wednesday with them before moving on north. We enjoy their company and it was a good visit. Ate at the Five Guys Burger joint. We really like In N Out and think their burgers are just as good for half the price. Fried mushrooms and onions on the Five Guys burgers are good tho. Fries at Five Guys are better. We left the area Thurs morning and drove up the coast to the Elks Lodge at Santa Maria. We were pretty impressed with the rv parking at this lodge. Full hook up, very clean and good 50 amp service at only $25 per nite. We understand the parking at Santa Barbara is nice too but didn't see it.
