Its the San Jacinto mountains! Born and raised there in 60s and 70s Thanks for your work !😊

[@NinthElement]

Thank you! I have no idea where I got the "Sacramento Mtns" from. If you watch long enough you will see I confuse and misspeak often, and I appreciate when my viewers correct me. I love PS, Cheers!

[@waynewilliams839]

@@NinthElement it was fun growing up there, and truly beautiful there

[@CountryComesToTown]

That was a fun trip to Palm Springs! Thanks for taking us along. I'm about to setup my Subaru Crosstrek for car camping. Subscribed! Jim in Georgia

[@NinthElement]

Happy Safe Travels to you Jim, see you down the road. Cheers!

[@roxannepearson8313]

I really enjoy your vids.. Thank You!❤

[@NinthElement]

Hi Roxanne, there are 29 days this month, but, I am heading into the backcountry...as my post explains...and I will not have reliable internet. I am so glad that you enjoy my videos and I will see you tomorrow. Cheers!

[@roxannepearson8313]

Oh ..lol. thought i erased that in time ...lol! Yes i realised that after my confusion🥴 Happy Travels !!

[@Brittanyjacks]

I was just in Palm Springs! I love it so much. I live in my car and just started my KZbin channel and love that I keep finding people to relate to. Have you checked Palm Canyon out?

[@NinthElement]

That is awesome! Come back on Thursday to find out. Happy travels. Cheers!

[@deborahisrael4989]

I just noticed on your little table in the back, it has a bit of a downward lean. You might take some door/window weatherstripping to keep it level(?) 😊

[@NinthElement]

Thanks for the tip! Cheers!

[@MarigoldRLM]

Flip flops and flowers-be still my beating heart!

[@NinthElement]

Smooches, Cheers!

[@literaryvan6143]

Hi! Love your videos!! Planet fitness is everywhere and it’s only $23 a month. You don’t have to work out. You can just go in to take a shower.

[@NinthElement]

I was aware of this all along and was being too cheap to join. What was I thinking? lol! Best $25 I spend a month, and I get a Hydro Massage with every visit too. Cheers!

[@EmiliaGarcia-sh1my]

Good morning Mindy 🙋‍♀️ Thanks for sharing, Enjoyed the video ❤❤😊Palm Springs is so beautiful,Lol 😂🤣 on Maryln Monroe statue❤😊 Enjoy and safe travels ❤😊

[@NinthElement]

lol! Yes, this was a fun and silly trip. Cheers!

[@bsavi62]

OMG a $18 shower when you could have enjoyed no chemical hot spring pools with steam rooms, saunas and showers for about $20 at Sam’s Family spa. (Only non chemical hot pools in the whole palm springs and desert hot springs area

[@NinthElement]

Right? OMG! I found out about this place AFTER I left Palm Springs. Next time My Darling, Cheers!

[@kimmyj9617]

LOVED that vintage store and the jazz music! So cool!

[@NinthElement]

Thank you Kimmy, see you next week. Cheers!

[@chrischarbonneau8873]

Mindy, Palm Springs looks absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking me there threw you.

[@NinthElement]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@mistysedillo1696]

You are really close to where I am. I'm in San Bernardino foothills, the mountains are beautiful this week, covered in snow! Enjoy your stay there, perfect time of year!

[@NinthElement]

Thank you Misty, Cheers!

[@suezaple4950]

Palm Springs is so pretty nice that all is well and you have a friend joining you always nice to explore with one. Thanks Mindy for bringing us look forward to the next video.

[@bbintheclouds]

Hi Mindy, great content! You started to talk about parking in that neighborhood and then something else came up. Question: Do you actually overnight in the neighborhood and park across from those homes? Thanks, and safe travels.✌🏽❤

[@suerop]

Interesting video. This is the first time I've seen one of your vlogs. So, you live in your tiny vehicle? I looked for an "About" section but you don't have one. Is Moira David's dog? She's so sweet. You didn't go into the museum? I'll be checking back to watch some of your older stuff to get to know you. C U!

[@NinthElement]

Hi Sue, welcome. If you click on the Name of my channel there is an about page there. Yes, I live and travel in my Honda Element. David is just a friend who travels with me from time to time. Moira is David's dog. I have been to the museum many times, just not this trip. Thanks for watching and I will see you next Friday at 9:00 am PST for a new Vlog. Cheers!

Love your vlog!

[@NinthElement]

Thanks Tim. I feel like I have come a long way with my filming and story telling. It feels really good. Stay warm and well, Cheers!

[@clarkleakins879]

Have you experienced the tram/cable lift up to Mt. San Jacinto? I enjoyed that cool place in July when the desert was blistering.

[@NinthElement]

I have still yet to do that. Hopefully this year, Cheers!

[@craigo2142]

Hope you got to Sherman's for breakfast and Koffee downtown.

[@NinthElement]

Check and Check. The Reuben at Shermans was to die for. Cheers!

[@loralora4368]

I miss Palm Springs. I'm currently up near the snowbound Canadian border. Great food in PS! Mindy, who is your travel companion? Sorry. I've been away from the channel for a short while.

[@NinthElement]

Welcome back and I hope that you are staying warm. This is my old friend Davis aka Leoplold. Cheers!

[@lilivicordero8077]

Awesome video ❤❤

[@NinthElement]

Thanks for the visit Cheers!

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

I worked in Rancho Mirage for 11 months. It is beautiful in the winter but horrible in the hot summers!

[@NinthElement]

I am obsessed with Palm Springs, and I would LOVE to live here for the Winter and do the PNW for the summer. A lady can dream. Cheers!

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

@@NinthElement it can be so expensive there though!

[@laurenm8561]

Good morning, My question is why did you hand spray Ninth? I’m wondering if external equipment (gas, solar, awning etc.) would keep me from going through the brushless automatic. Looking forward to building my own home on wheels soon😃. Mexican to pizza… People after my own heart. This was so fun, thank you Mindy.

[@NinthElement]

Hi Lauren, great questions. I have an after market awning, roof rack and gas rack. It is not advisable to go through the automatic car washes. I also enjoy washing my car by hand. Thanks for watching and I will see you next week. Cheers!

[@RedwoodsAndRain]

You don’t have to use the gym equipment. Many Van Lifers just use the showers so $10/mo. can be well worth it.

[@NinthElement]

Thank you I will have to do this, Cheers!

[@Marnizzle2.0]

I've seen teddy bear cactus jump on people and attach itself to them. How did you touch it?

[@NinthElement]

I was not aware of this fact, and I am glad that I touched it very carefully. Let's hope I don't get hurt this season in the desert, as I am such a West Coast kid and not used to any of this. Cheers!

[@jessies6502]

Dont forget thrift stores! And FLEA MARKETS!! 😊

[@NinthElement]

Yes Yes! Agreed, Cheers!

[@castrofiasco888]

Can someone lead me in a direction for meet ups / events? I want to get started on this life style

[@NinthElement]

Cheap RV Living on KZbin has all of the information. Cheers!

That San Miguel Mexican restaurant is disgusting! The worst Mex restaurant in Palm Springs area.

okay
