Palm desert - environ

 

We took a little jaunt up Hway 74 - up to around 6,000 feet, mostly winding road and a hway known as the deadliest in the US.  We went up to a Idyllwild, a little town that looks to be all about getting out of the summer heat.  There was a healthy smattering of rustic, woodsy looking motels, a few restaurants and some tourist shops.

Above is evidence of the latter, a candy, cum just about everything else that can be eaten that you can think of.  Never in all my days of being a tourist myself have I seen so buy me now stuff.

There was even those white sticks of candy that were sold as candy cigarettes when we were growing up.

Of course we walked out with packages of stuff that we thought at the time we really needed.
