Palm Springs Diary … Part 5: Visit to Joshua Tree …
Joshua Tree National Park
Didn’t know much about Joshua Tree National Park – except that it was big – and had a good circle route drive – up through the High Desert.
So we stocked up on water and headed out …
Cholla Cactus Forest
Ever had a bunch of cactus spines stuck in you? Not pleasant. Many cactus spines have barbs and are not easy to get out. They also can easily penetrate a lot of footwear. Yeah.
Careful …
Rugged Landscape
The Arch
ChuckwallaResting …… In the shade of a Joshua Tree
Howdy!
I love Westerns.
... and the intent of MyFavoriteWesterns.com is to celebrate Western Movies/Film - old and new.
This site will eventually show my top 30 favorite Westerns - or more. I will have original graphic work with regular updates.
All this - and more ...
Yee Haw ... !!

Looks nifty. I have been stuck by cacti. The worst one are the tiny ones with deceptively soft barbs. Those tiny little barbs are hard to see and even harder to extract. I keep my distance!
There’s more to this place than we took advantage of – or show … a Ranger/Visitor Center … has several hiking trails … decent camp site … and our camera went dead before we reached the end. There are some expanses where not much is happening as you drive – but it was still an enjoyable outing for us – has a very good road – which they are busy improving. I would guess it’s not everybody’s piece of cake – so I cannot really promote it.

It took me over an hour to get to microscopic barbs out of my foot. I could feel them, but couldn’t see them.
That is one park that I have always thought would be cool to visit. Is it?
