Joshua Tree

Just Entering the Park

House just before the park

So its been a bit since I blogged but not much going on but treatments.  Just about wore out my welcome down here I think!  Did treatment #40 today (out of 45 total to get). Time has gone by quite fast actually. Last weekend was not the nicest weather, cold - rainy - snowy!  Snowed down to about 3000'.  Went to Joshua Tree Nat'l Park for a drive thru & possible hiking.  Didn't do much of the latter as it was a bit nippy with the wind blowing pretty good.  But a beautiful place as can be seen by the pictures. 

Sample of Rock Formations

OOOO little Joshua Trees!

Just West of the San Adreas Fault the park has a lot of awesome rock formations, looking like a bunch of boulders just piled up.  quite interesting.  They are granite boulders cooled & cracked after the magma cooled as it came out of the fault.  Several old mines ect around the park but as I said I didn't hike as I did get there a little late in the day.

Looking @ Palm Springs

I did go back the next day but only made it as far as the Outlet Stores by the Morino Casino.  Needed a few items, it was still cold & windy & I could see snow up in the Mtns where I was headed.  Figure I'll see that soon enough!  Had to buy a new tire as some kids parked behind me at the gym & while trying to jocky my way out I hit the curb & blew a tire.  Was a pain in the arse changing it, luckily I calmed down a bit by the time the kids came out from the gym.  They were quite apologetic but cost me $200 for a tire & of course I couldn't find one the same. 

The thin line hills in the Middle of the picture is the San Andreas Fault

So next Wednesday or Thursday is my last treatmet & I will head home then.  But will have to get back to work & I still haven't figured out how much all this is cost me.  But has been a good break from everything & soon to get back to reality!
