Day 8 - Palm Desert to Morongo Valley
Before we head out into the wilds of the Morongo Valley, we stop a bunch of times along the turnpath to Whee to acquire needed sustenance, like tomahawk veal rib chops and cornish game hens and broccolini and bocconcini. Not least, we require coffee, and large amounts of it. Near as we can tell, Palm Springs has only one bona fide coffee roaster - Koffi.
The luxury life resides behind the facade of palm trees and mid century modern buildings, but on the street the urban chaos and high anxiety levels are quickly revealed..
It would be a great metaphor for a dance line - except they're all out of step. OK maybe a really bad dance line.

No one said you needed a 4 wheel drive to get up here - good thing we have one!
