Sun Sept 28 Joshua Tree National Park
Traveling day as we exited via the southern road from Sequoia. Another 40 miles of bad road -- hairpin turns every 100 yards it seemed. Later talked to a ranger who commuted every day along that road. That's foolish dedication.
Saw this sign. I'm guessing it says "Gamble Here" or it could be "Vote for Me" or "In An Accident? Call."
Took the interstate from Visalia all the way into the outskirts of LA, then turned for Joshua Tree. It was windy, and well farmed, along the route.
Arrived at Joshua Tree mid-afternoon and treated it as a windshield park. We expected the Joshua Trees, but not the big rock piles around the park. The rocks come in size from gravel to giant. The Intersection Rock below is used for climbing practice. Come here before El Capitan.
Drove to Keys View where we could have seen into Mexico if the sky was clear. Since it wasn't 1978 anymore, we strained to see Palm Springs about 30 miles away.
Here's a rock that looked like an armadillo, or maybe the Sydney Opera House.
The aptly named Skull Rock.
Joshua Tree was worth the visit.
