Just got back from a couple of days in the desert -- Joshua Tree National Park, mostly, but we stopped in Indio on the way back, at a place called Shields Dates, where they had a brief movie showing in their theater called "Romance and Sex Life of the Date". The movie is not as interesting as you might think, but the date shake was tasty. Hwy 111 at Jefferson, check it out if you're in the area and like dates.
Thanks. I'm probably gonna be in the area sometime in the next month but I don't know if I like dates or not. I didn't know they grew dates in California.
