The Swaying Palm Trees



On the opposite side of the road, where sandstorms rage, a sturdy generator generates massive amounts of energy while standing resolute on the barren plain. The sight of the nearby bare Mountain only accentuates the overwhelming sense of loneliness that pervades this desolate location. However, upon entering the city and passing by the swaying palm trees, a warm welcome awaits the weary travelers.



The journey towards Palm Springs is a desolate drive through a windy plain. This area is often characterized by sandstorms, although heavy rain can occur in the winter. Despite the harsh weather conditions, many retirees are drawn to this location for various reasons, including the presence of hot springs that provide a respite from the cold weather.
