This weekend, our little desert town is SWAMPED with Lookie-Lous, driving
around in their fancy
city SUVs and motorhomes and standing out(breifly) in droves in the desert
looking at wildflowers..

Well some folks fly to Hawaii for the weekend and some people go look at
flowers.
No offense but for someone who is visiting the state from Oregon for the
winter aren't you pushing it bit with "our little desert town".
It's not my little desert town or yours last I looked it still was in
California.
It belongs to them and if they want to go and look at flowers well so bit
it.
No doubt people who live in "your little desert town" full time have
opinions  on folks who come down for the winter as well.
