I Left

Snapshots I took not long before I left my home on the California desert to go to Southeast Asia. All four are taken within the Joshua Tree National Park.
The first of the four shows a cloudy day at JTNP.
The second is of an approach to the rocks of the park.
The third is of flora of the area: a yucca and some hedgehog cacti.
The fourth gets a little closer to the rocks. 

Escaped

  Some large rocks have escaped from the Monument, but have not gone far.

Trails

  There are trails in the Monument. Their are maintained trails even in theses difficult tomes.

6774 Easterly Dr.

  This house at 6774 Easterly Dr., in Joshua Tree, California
can rent for $800 a month and is listed for $64,000. If I were an investor, I'd buy it today.

Still Moving

  I am getting ready to move to my Camp Thunderbird place near 29 palms  and the north easr entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park.

The picture is of me , my paralyzed face and eye that didn't get put back exactly right.

Yes, there are cold days on the desert. The picture is on the desert of the Salton Sink or the Colorado Desert. Some are calling  it the Coachella Valley.

The hills in the background may be the Little San Bernardino Mountains marking the southern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park

Tourists

On the way back from my walk on the Monument today I stopped at the parking for Key's Ranch and ran into this tourist couple. 
My neighbor said yesterday that the night before he had seen largish birds flying south by southwest from J.T. in a 'v' formation.
