Back to Joshua Tree National Park
This is one of our favorite places on the planet. We stayed at this park twice last year, and had some of our most memorable times. We have a nice spot with a beautiful view out our windows.
The campground is fairly empty and, so far, relatively quiet (the exception being four tent campers who set up camp at 11:00 last night, and must have slammed their car doors a hundred times). But they are gone now. We are back into busier camp grounds now, so just have to accept that. But we yearn for our campgrounds in New Mexico and Arizona where we were the only people there.
Took the 5-mile loop hike today. Nice little 5.6 mile hike with 1050 elevation gain. We wanted something simple since we haven't hiked for three weeks and since I am still feeling the effects of the cold I caught from Sebastian. Vicky got over hers before me. We knew we'd get them, but didn't care--it was worth it seeing the grandchildren.
