Rainbow Spa RV Park, Palm Springs

We left home boxing day and the trip was cold but uneventful, with good roads. We were happy to meet our friends. We have a nice spot very close to the pool and near our friends. We enjoyed New Year's eve at the clubhouse with our friends with dancing and a live band. I am enjoying the sunshine, playing pickleball almost every day, and swimming.
