We did a little window shopping in Flagstaff and headed southwest through Lake Havasu City and onto Joshua Tree. The Colorado and Mohave deserts meet near here creating an interesting, arid landscape. It was hot and windy. It was hovering at 100 degrees all day. Whew!
From a distance, it appears the sand is creeping up mountainsides and engulfing some of the smaller peaks.
A type of Cholla Cactus. Very pokey, but very pretty.
Ryan in the booger position of Skull Rock, a formation at Joshua Tree National Park. There are tons of these rock formations and rock piles. They remind us of the Flintstones. Wilma!

Gorgeous Joshua Tree sunset. This place seems magical.
Total Miles: about 217
Total Gas: $194.05 (a small fortune by now)
In the end: We ended up again in a Walmart parking lot, was too late and too dark to figure out where we could fit our beast in the national park. First time we didn't actually spend money in the Walmart...oh well, thanks for the parking lot!
