Western Railroad Discussion > Palm Springs post rain luck.Date: 01/29/08 13:03 Palm Springs post rain luck. Author: SoCalRailFan Taking a drive with my girlfriend to Palm Spring to geocache we came across some unique weather at Windy Point. so braving the 50+mph winds, sand and rain I climbed the hill for these shots. I'm lucky they turned out at all with the force of the wind and weather. Enjoy!

bob Date: 01/29/08 13:22 Re: Palm Springs post rain luck. Author: espee4ever Great series of photos! I do that drive every now and then with the wife, it is quite pleasurable, especially cause I get to watch trains too. Thank you for sharing.
