Joshua Tree

This past weekend Grant, Brandon, Mary and I decided we needed a camping trip. We threw around the idea of going to the Grand Canyon, but since we didn't have much time, we chose Joshua Tree. This decision turned out to be a great one! We arrived on Sunday night after the sun had long set. We drove in by the moonlight with the stars illuminating the clear night sky. We found a camp sight in the area called Jumbo Rocks. We were surrounded by large rock formations that we climbed and explored until we decided to build a night fire. On Monday morning we went for a 7 mile hike through the desert terrain. We saw many different types of plants, trees, and rocks, but not much life. It was a beautiful sunny day which made for a very relaxing hike. We returned to the camp site and made another fire. We laughed most of the night and were surprised our neighbors didn't either join us or scold us! We left the next morning, although we all wanted to stay! On to the next adventure.....
