Pechanga Casino RV Resort, Disc Golf and Time to Move

We only stayed two nights at Pechanga Casino RV Resort and since we didn’t even get set up until 2:00 pm we didn’t do anything the first day except go over to check out the casino. This place is under major construction and we had a little difficulty finding the RV park but when completed this is going to be quite a nice casino based on the architectural renditions.

We were quite surprised to see Jacks or Better video poker machines with 9/6 odds which I haven’t seen in more than 10 years anywhere. But the little we played on them we certainly didn’t get the feel the slots were very loose so we cashed out our meager earnings and left. Back at the resort we found the pool and hot tub so we took advantage of the warm evening to take a nice soak before making some dinner.

The next day we found a nearby Disc Golf course in Mountain Pride Park. It was a bit tricky finding the course but what a nice and enjoyable course it was. The course was rolling terrain with enough vegetation to make players really need to pay attention where the disc lands or risk never finding it. We found it to be a very challenging and fun course which took a couple of hours to complete. What fun!

Next up for us was to check out a highly rated local brewery. The one we chose was the Electric Brewing Company and we found their variety of crafted beers both interesting and very tasty. We would certainly recommend this brewery when in this area. Upon our return home we had time to break out the grill and cook up some very tasty kabobs and grilled pineapple.

 

The next morning it was time to go and we lingered before leaving around lunchtime since there is a later than usual check in rule at our next destination at Mission Bay in San Diego. Traffic wasn’t too bad (well considering this is a large city) and we arrived at the park about 1:30 for the 2pm check-in. Luckily we were allowed to go directly to our site before 2:00 pm which had never happened in the past. We settled into our site and will be here for the month of November until December 4th. We are looking forward to relaxing in San Diego for our extended stay…

NOTE: We have now left Pechanga Casino RV Resort and have set up for the month of November at Mission Bay RV Resort in San Diego.

Driving a Scenic Loop to the Cahuilla Casino…

Our last day in Hemet it was overcast with an occasional drizzle so we decided to take a loop drive out to the Cahuilla Casino about 30 miles away. Although it was only 30 miles away it took an hour to drive the winding road through the California mountains. It was slow going but the large boulders strewn across the hilltops made for an interesting scene.

Wow, Cahuilla Casino offers new players $25.00 per person in free play!  We had a great time playing our favorite video poker and when we were finished gambling we netted a bit over 50 bucks!!! Since we previously read reviews that the food was good we decided to eat lunch there. The burger and fries plate was huge and very good. We were certainly glad we shared that monster…

We arrived back home just in time to catch the ending of a few college football games and then we watched our favorite college team, the Texas A&M Aggies, play. They pretty much decimated an inferior New Mexico State Aggie team but hey, a win is a win. They still have some work to do to end the season with only one loss and a chance to play in the national championship.Exciting!

The next morning we took a stroll around the park and finally discovered where they hid the shuffleboard court. It was inside a building! This was a first for us to see such a large indoor complex. The courts were rock surfaced and instructions were to sprinkle a granulated wax on it before playing. We tried it out and man were they slick. It took us forever to even be able to get one to stay on the court. We decided a whole game might take all day so we swept up the granules and made our exit

We played a game of Pickleball on our last day before packing up. We really enjoy playing pickleball but we prefer singles over doubles since we feel we get a much better workout playing singles while running around trying to hit the pickleball back over the net rather than standing mostly in one spot using reflexes to return it back.

We hit the road for the 27 mile drive south to Temecula California. We will be at the Pechanga Casino RV Resort for two days before making one last dash to Mission Bay in San Diego for the month of November…

NOTE: We have now left Pechanga Casino RV Resort and have set up for the month of November at Mission Bay RV Resort in San Diego.
