Palm Canyon Resort
Here is a short video of some of the property. The resort was remodelled a few years ago with an old west theme. My room is the Dress Shop at the end of the walkway.

Terry Dietz was able to join us again this year (his second visit to Borrrego Springs). Originally, Terry set up in the general viewing area, but we had him move his gear over to where Al and I were set up.

Back in 2018 they were working on the new library building. When we got here this year (2019) it was all finished and looked great.
