Needed to get away from the city for a day.
Drove the short two hours to Joshua Tree National Park and had myself a fabulous day exploring the desert terrain.
Always, always, always must have a photo at the entrance!
This is the 109th National Park I've visited!!
The ocotillo.
The cholla cactus garden. Or what I call them, "scary jumping cactus." They have a tendency to attach itself to the unwary. I barely stood still long enough to take my photo. The last thing I want is one of those stuck in my face.
This old truck belonged to a long time resident of the area. I found several old cars, among other things, along this particular trail.
By the time I reached this old Mill, which operated from 1930-1966 by William F. Keys, the sun was setting. I had to use my flashlight to find my way out, and that proved a challenge!!
Slowly accomplishing my goal to visit every national park in the USA!
Cheers!!
