Idyllwild and Stage Coach - Palm Springs

We went up to Idyllwild to see Caleigh's (Kyle's sister) final year exhibition. Firstly, it was awesome, secondly Idyllwild is too cute. More than 5000 feet above sea level its a little chilly...


So gotta have one of these for the garden....

Snow on the mountains....

This is the best cat i've ever seen. so friendly...it belongs to the second hand book shop and he just chills...

He is so fluffy and friendly...OMG

I was in 7th heaven!  

This is Tesla, again. The neighbours cat! 

Adorbale! He has totally made himself at home! 

Welcome to the desert....37 degrees in the stinking heat with I can't even say how many people....all it really is, is beer, bums, boobs country music and cowboy hats...for 3 full days! 

View at night from the Ferris Wheel.

Very cool 3 days with very cool people. 

 It was so beautiful. 

Ya... 

Mmmmm...ya.... 

This is the trailer park where you can park your RV for 3 days...listen....it was like the biggest trailer park you've ever seen and the people partied like rock stars!  

From the Ferris Wheel during the day. 

So many people it was quite scary. 

Anyway, Country Music is something you have to get used to. Its not just there for you to like...But Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Florida Gerogia Line and Darius Rucker's Rock me Mamma like a wagon wheel...make it a little easier to digest. 

It was still pretty empty here, by 6pm the place is packed. 

Me and Kyle!

Look at the scenery in the background....

Walking around with wet  scarfs we won and kept dipping in ice water!  

I even got sprayed...there was a point when I was drenched from head to toe! 

Walking home....You had to walk pretty far in and out, my feet hurt quite a lot.

Driving home...look at the windmills.

Desert sunset...

So gorgeous...

Stage Coach...whoop whoop...I'll go again next year for sure!
