Palm Springs to Yucca Valley

We stopped in Palm Springs but nothing much there to see or do, I was looking for a Fred Myer to purchase a professional grade mixer for baking (cheaper in the states than in Canada.... much cheaper) but nothing that big exists in the area you have to drive to Palm Dessert to reach a Walmart. We were heading in the other direction up to Yucca Valley towards Twentynine Palms to enter the Joshua Tree National Park. It took a few hours to get in this region and the fruit smoothie is no longer doing the job of filling our bellies. Food is now priority as we both are feeling extremely low energy and our patience is becoming short fused. We stopped at the Walmart in Yucca Valley, and you know the website ‘The People of Walmart’? well I have seen it first hand. I could have snapped off a dozen award winning photos. 
Stomaches now having a personal boxing match with my insides it was time to stop as soon as we can even if fast food was are only option. Brad’s blood sugar low and headache started to really pound. Not left with many options we spotted a tiny cafe on the corner of a street that read healthy home made food. Done! I ordered a large salad as it was garden greens with sprouts, beats, red cabbage, chick peas, cucumbers and tomatoes. Brad had a club sandwich with potato salad. I heard the accents as we came in Palm Springs but now it seems a lot more noticeable. I have to say every where we have gone all our servers, gas attendants, store clerks etc... have all been very nice and helpful, nothing like your typical American tourist who are loud annoying and obnoxious. I have really enjoyed driving through the States makes me want to venture out more through this country.
