The temps in Joshua Tree are perfect today. It’s a beautiful saturday in the sun. I’m sitting here eating lunch in the boulders with a cut on my thumb (cutting onions first night), a hole in my pinky and another on my pointer finger from two separate start crimps. Plus a sprained second toe on my left foot from an awkward fall friday (it’s already feels 50% better today, but still a little swollen). the most important thing is my elbow feel great.
We took two days to get here arriving just after midnight after a 16 hour drive and a 14 hours day before with four hours sleep. So the boarder didn’t give us too much trouble, we had to go inside while they attempted to look through our over packed truck. The fat and lazy boarder guard could not understand how we could leave our work and lives behinds to camp in the desert for 5 months, but he was nice about it and let us go without ripping the car a part.
The first day drive was interesting with lots of rain on and off. we headed to the coast from Eurika to check the sand dunes out. At night fall we booked it to california through Arcata finding a camp ground in red wood park (but not before I almost crashed into a big ass mofo 6 point buck just chilling on the side of the road. We woke up at 4:30, dodging the camping fee and headed for San Francisco by ten. We continued the coast drive from there to LA, probably the most beautiful stretch of road I’ve ever seen.
Now we share a camp site with a great guy name Dave from colorado (or Wyoming or Arizona). The camp grounds full, but running into someone in the desert during the day in uncommon.

Now Sunday, it’s our rest day, before three more days of fun here. Then off to El Paso. I’ll find some time to post some photos and interesting stories soon.
Peace and Love
