BEST DATE SHAKE IN THE DESERT

IN THE LAND OF THE WIND MILL

       A sweet story now about a special oasis in the Coachella Valley desert, in the land of the big winds,

 the big wind mills

Where cell phone towers masquerade as date palms

where the main drag is appropriately named.
The Coachella Valley, 45 miles long and about 15 miles wide produces 95% of the dates sold in the US.
The Valley runs from Riverside County on the southeast to the San Bernadino Mountains to the Salton Sea.  It is bounded on the west by the San Jacinto Mountains and in that region is said to be the best date shakes anywhere.  

Out in the country, near the wind mills on Indian Canyon Road

the sign that is perfectly suited for the desert of dates

and the inconspicuous edifice that leads to a world of wonder

prices and items you'll likely not find elsewhere

and amidst it all the magic ingredient

and behind the counter, the gal that can work magic

and the product of her endeavor,

the enchanting Date Shake- good enough to make you feel smug

and then pucker 

The taste test proves it

Best Date Shake in the Desert!

In this enchanted land where

Dinah Shore and Gene Autry intersect

and where the clouds stop at the top of the San Jacinto mountain

and where the sun seems to shine in a way that builds a taste

for the best date shake in the desert.

See you down the trail.
