| Our camp at Belle CG in Joshua Tree |
We made a quick pass through Joshua Tree National Park on
the way to Death Valley intending spend two nights and take a bike ride or
hike. Weather moved in and a grateful desert got rain while we sat out the day
reading, listening to an audio book and watching clouds.

We camped among the rocks in the scenic Belle Campground.
Our site was watched over by a giant rock owl. For those of you lucky enough to
see shapes in the clouds you’ll appreciate my rock owl pictures.

We got a short afternoon hike before the rain started and
trooped across the desert to explore clusters of giant boulders that crouch in
the gravely desert sands. The granite boulders are course and easy to friction
up so we walk up their humped backs to see how far we can climb. Jim finds a
rock wave that’s poised to overtake him but never will and I find a perfect window, an eye on the sky. Across
the valley we see our Sprinter parked next to a pebble. Jim points it out for you.
Joshua Tree has lots of biking and hiking possibilities and
so we’ll plan a trip here next winter.

| A perfect window. |
Tomorrow we’ll be in Death Valley. Till then.
