Day 8 Fri Jan 20 - On route to Fountain of Youth RV Resort

Clear & sunny in the AM, getting hot, (80F-27C), in PM
We pulled out of Fantasy Springs Casino @ 9:35 @ 149049 km & into a Food-4-Less, (9:50 to 10:45). Next stop was Oasis Date Gardens @ 10:55 for a date shake, sampling varieties of dates & buying some, out @ 11:15. We pulled into the Fountain of Youth entrance @ 12:00 @ 149124 km. We checked in, (4 nights for price of 3), with a coupon and drove up to the dry camping area where Les & Dorothy Bullis, our friends from the Dogwood Roamers, were camped. I dumped the grey tank, filled the water tank, got into our spot and went down to the hot pool area & was in a hot tub by 1:30. I came out after a while & went over to Freddy’s Fountain CafĂ© by one of the pools where they have a free WiFi hot spot to check email. I met Sheila at the other swimming pool for some water walking & went in the hot tub there. The water in the swimming pool was very warm—almost as hot as the water in the hot tub. Sheila said it’s the hottest swimming pool she’s ever been in and she’s been in a lot during her lifetime! We were back at the RV by 4:30. After supper, we went to play Hand & Foot with Les & Dorothy in their 5th wheel as they have a free-standing dining table that makes it easy to get 4 people around. Les & Bren won. We had coffee & cookies there before returning to the RV 9:30 ish.

Distance Travelled – 75 km – 47 miles
