SUMMARY:Sketch the Cabazon Dinosaurs

It is cooler in Cabazon than the low desert so bring a jacket.  It can be very windy in  Cabazon so check this listing the day of the event to check if it is still on. \nThe dinosaurs are a 30 minute drive from downtown Palm Springs and about ten minutes from the Cabazon outlets.
