Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Afraid to ask... Catalina Island

[Red5hilser (Red5hilser]

Hey Rodney: A "well heeled group?" Well heeled my ass. In the desert, I  
found that more money that you spend, the more boring your stay will be. You'll 
 
see.
 
You're about 30 years too late to 'party' in Palm Springs, my man. Back in  
the day, my favorite spot was always Taquitz Falls, located about half a mile  
west of Palm Canyon Drive, just above downtown.
 
It was a beautiful little oasis, with a natural 70-foot waterfall where  you, 
and a hundred or so of your new friends could 'let your hair down,' as they  
say, splash and frolic in the cool, clear water without the bothersome need  
of restrictive bathing suits. But that was back in the 1970's when the motto 
was  'Everybody shares, man,' And that meant either your herb, various 
chemicals 
. .  . or even your girlfriend!
 
The only rule there was that there were NO rules. When my kids were old  
enough to start asking me about 'where do babies come from,' I took them up to  
the Falls, and believe me, in one hot, sunny afternoon, they learned more about 
 
the Kama Sutra and sexual positions than if they had gone to a Johnny 
Wadd/Long  Dong Silver Film Fest at the local Pussycat Theater. No more 
questions  
after that.
 
These days, Palm Springs is filled with folks that might have a far  
different sexual orientation than would be depicted in an old Norman  Rockwell 
Saturday Evening Post cover. Different strokes . . .
 
And Rodney, better watch out. That 'girl' that you chatted up in the club  
down on Palm Canyon Drive earlier in the evening, might be full of surprises  
when you take her back to your motel room for a nightcap. And under NO  
circumstances, let 'her' tie you up and blindfold you in bed for a little kinky 
 'fun 
& games!' Especially if 'she' whips out a tube of K-Y from 'her' purse  before 
the lights go out, if you get my drift.
 
But now, depending on just how 'adventuresome' you are, there's a  
winter-long 'Burning Man' Festival at a place known as The Slabs. An old  
abandoned AFB, 
on the other side of the Salton Sea. 
 
It hosts a 100,000 strong band of 'thrill seekers,' who live, laugh, and  
love below the radar screen of modern civlilization. Tents, motor-homes,  
campers, or just sleeping bags and a campfire is what they call home from  
about late 
October until the temps start the climb to 115* in the  summer. Take this old 
camper's advice though, better go armed. Better safe  than sorry.
 
In Phoenix, I suggest eating at either The Heart Attack Grill, or the  
downtown Sports Bar owned by Alice Cooper & Randy Johnson. At the Spts  joint, 
their 
special is 'Randy Johnson's Big Unit.' Believe me, it's more than a  
mouthful. Some say it approaches 2 feet in length. There's even a sign above 
the  door 
that proudly announces that, 'Linda Lovelace Refused To Eat Here.'  <g>
 
The Heart Attack Grill serves cheeseburgers that are so artery clogging  that 
the wait-staff all wear the skimpy nurse outfits that you see in the films  
that are shown down at your local Pussycat Theater.
 
Hope this was of help. Let us now, and good luck, yer pal Ferrari  Bubba

Hey  gang, I thought of no better place to ask advice on traveling somewhere 
than  this well-heeled group.   I'm going to visit Mom this week in  Phoenix 
and then see some of my business partners in Palm Springs, Huntington  Beach, 
Long Beach and then finish up some business in Scottsdale next  week.  I'm 
taking Mom with me to visit the SoCal clan on the weekend and  we were thinking 
of 
hitting Catalina Island.  It's been on my list for  many years and I missed 
going to special events there during my dancing  days.  Any advice for this 
round trip from Phoenix and back?  Mom is  having me rent a car instead of 
using 
hers since I tend to destroy most  anything I drive even for a short trip...  
Weather there is better than  anything in Chicago right now.  We are up for 
adventure.  Mom taught  me how to "party" (scary thought about mom for those 
that know me  already).

Thanks.

Rodney
