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. 

Me

  A cold day on a hot desert.

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.

If you are Over Six Four

If you sit with me in my little dinning area, take care when you stand up. 
























Not counting the very usable attached garage the little house has about 925 sq ft of living space. In this area a place in fair condition built in 1985 sells for about $70 a sq. ft. This updated place was built in 1985 and is in much better than fair condition. Buy it while you can. It can be a profitable rental, but might make a darn good retirement spot.

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

Patio

  Used to call this property Camp Thunderbird. It's part of the house I have for sale in 29.

Desert Hobits!

Lots of hidy holes in the rocks big and small.Here are some of the small.

Influencial Eunuch

Influential eunuch and holy Christian martyr, mount San Gorgonio as seen from JTNP  
Nearly 11,000 feet high and no snow.

Neighbors

  Barrel cactus, hedgehog and friends.

Through Rocks

Here you can look through rocks and see Joshua Trees. 

My Car

  is over there somewhere.

Neighbors

Short spined neighbors. 

Joshua Tree National Park

Long spined barrel cactus at home. 

Could This Be ......

  the wizard who petrified Mr. Bunny?

Rocks

  The rocks are changing, but not so fast as to rush a man.

Firsr Monday of October

Walked again this first Monday of October. This will be my last walk for a time. I don't expect to have time for much walking or blogging for a while. 

Wash

 Expansive Park; little wash.

There Are Trails

 There are trails for those who choose to use them

Where I Put My Feet

Just looking down where I put my feet seems interesting to me. Desert good.
