My family and I live in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California. Unlike the rest of California, or the California depicted on all the television shows, we actually have four seasons, due to our elevation. Since my wife and I hate winter, we take every chance we get to escape to our favorite sunny destination - Palm Springs. While it is also in California, it is miles and worlds away from the mountains. If you were to drive from the Oregon-California border to the California-Mexico border, you'd spend a couple of days, as it is a trip of 800 miles. So the 450 miles to Palm Springs, while still a considerable distance, is very doable in a day.
It's about this time of the year (cold, rainy February) that we start making our plans for a trip in April. We're scheduling the end of April, when the weather in the desert should be in the mid-nineties with sunshine every day. We'll also spend some time researching our latest book Guilty by Association, a great mystery about the disappearance of an innocent young woman and a syndicate that is cheating homeowners across Southern California. The book's first few chapters are available at Scribd.com, click here to read it.
