We spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday at Joshua Tree. We have gone soft so didn't camp, rather we spent Saturday night at the Holiday Inn Express in Twentynine Palms and had a decent BBQ dinner at the nearby "Mr. Rib."
My favorite pictures from the weekend are accessible here.
Saturday afternoon we drove into the park and spent the time around sunset in the area near the Jumbo Rocks campground.
We spent Sunday morning walking the Barker Dam loop. We had a bit of adventure when the youngest member of our party wasn't looking where they were going and got a little too close for comfort to a rattlesnake. Fortunately someone else saw the snake when it reared its head and sounded the alarm and we retreated to a safe distance. The snake slithered into a bush and then eventually slithered out. I hung around to take some pictures when it slithered out of the bush, but decided to make my exit when it abruptly changed direction, raised its head and started coming toward me...
Then we went to Hidden Valley and had lunch. Finally we headed out, taking the south entrance to get to the I-10, and stopping at the Cholla Cactus Garden and the Ocotillo Patch.
