Joshua Tree NP

After years of careful consideration, I’ve decided I like everything about being outside and camping. I like all the usual things: fresh air, scenery, hiking, campfires, and having a break from phones & computers. My absolute favorites:
  • you know you have good friends when you spend all your waking hours with them and you still look forward to making plans with them at the end of the weekend
  • after 48 hours of driving, making camp in the dark, being cold, cooking over a fire, and no bathing, you still find your significant other to be pretty dreamy
  • you get to be “camp clean” instead of city clean – who knew you could eat with utensils that have a little bit of last night’s dinner stuck to them?
That said, I know there are downsides. Sometimes a rock will jump out and attack your shin, leaving a ginorms scrape down the front of your leg.

  1. It was some serious 'together time' and everyone passed the test! We will look forward to camping with you all in the future! :)
