the desert

Last weekend, my friends and I did the Hike for Hope in Palm Springs. We had registered for a moderately strenuous hike, but when we got there, it was full. Instead, we did a moderate hike, which was scenic, but not as pretty or challenging as the one we were expecting. Still, it was fun and we collected lots of goodies from the snack tables and gift bags. One volunteer was giving away free hugs. Funny.

On the way home, we hit the Cabazon outlets. More hiking :).
