Joshua Tree National Park

Originally I intended to hit all of the southern Californian deserts. I thought I'd head to the Mojave and Death Valley after I explored Joshua Tree. However, I've been accepted as an intern at the Gazebo preschool at Esalen. Therefore, I need to cut my desert journeys short.

Joshua Tree has been fabulous. Campsite #10 in the White Tanks Campground.... Home sweet home. I'm going to miss the heart shaped rock that overlooked my tent. And the flat rock where I spent my nights observing the night sky. So many stars! The sky is I think what impresses me the most in the desert. And I do love these funny ancient trees all around.

For now I head back to the ocean.
