If you have been following the blog, you will recall that our RV park/campground choices have turned out to be very close to railroad lines. The clickety-clack and whistles were “romantic” or at least not offensive or irritating.
This park just happens to be across the street from a local Fire Station. There are sirens going off and fire engines roaring out of the place all day and night. Since we aren’t seeing much in the local paper about fires, we think it might be more rescue/ambulance work. This area has a very high average age of the residents (local and snow birds). We, of course, do bring that average down quite a bit. The busiest time of day is around dinner time (6 or 7pm). We haven’t figured that out yet.
Early Saturday evening, we began hearing voices (or one voice, really) rev’ing up a crowd to ask for “more air!” “more air!”. It took us a while to figure out something else must be going on close to our park. Off to the internet to see what are the events in the Palm Springs area. We are within 3 miles of the Fair Grounds. And, Saturday was a “Monster Truck” event. We could hear the announcer clearly across the desert. On the other hand, we couldn’t hear the trucks – so maybe they weren’t so very monstrous after all.
