Joshua Tree

No, not the U2 album.  The national park.

Camping in the Coachella Valley--missed the festival--and for the last few days a couple friends and their families and I have been heading into Joshua Tree National Park, not too far from Palm Springs.  We've done some great hikes, here are just a couple pictures:

The best pictures are on my phone, and you have to wait till I get home before I can get those on this blog easily.  Still, you now have an idea of why I went on a blogging hiatus!
