Having spent a couple of days in Palm Springs in 2003 we are about to come back over and spend 2 weeks there (from Saturday).

Anyone got any information on special events happening over the next fortnight? Or things we should know that we might not pick up anywhere else.

I was shocked to see the pictures of Pioneertown -unfortunately I have no sound on here- on the internet today with the fire. We drove there last time.

What is happening with the fire at the moment? Is anyone hurt? Whereabouts has it reached so far and in which direction is it going?

Any areas you think we should avoid?

Thanks

Hello EBW.
My name is Logic. Welcome to the forum. Pioneer Town and the whole area is really a sad thing, but because lightening started it we feel a little batter about nature taking it's course. We will say there have been over 42 homes lost, no deaths but minor injuries we think fire fighters 8 to 10 and civilians 2 or 3 from smoke inhalation.
We are very sad about these home loses as you might know from visiting here before in 2003 the area is all one close family and we really do come together for one and other. About what is new for you to do, we have a friend that owns a company that takes you out on tours like to the Salton Sea or the San Andrea's earthquake fault lines and stuff. Please visit there website www.elitelandtours.comand see if this is for you BigGrin

. Also they use Hummer H2's these are a comfortable off the road adventure. We are not promoting it is just that we do not know you well yet and this company was not around on your last visit but you mentioned Pioneer Town so this is similar. Enjoy your stay

Thank you for your reply.

I have been thinking about this all day (and not only because I am coming to visit!). We were meant to be driving through Palm Springs in 2003 on our way to LA and then SF. We ended up staying 2 nights and loved it.

Pioneertown was a stop along the way. We stopped for such a short time there but I remember it very fondly. I was looking forward to going back there.

My thoughts are with everyone affected.

I will peek at the website tomorrow (its now nearly 12am!)

Thanks again....
