Words fail me. So do photos. The sights and information I have tried to absorb exceed my poor old brain and my imagination. I have taken 50 photographs today while driving the park roads in search of the best example of a boulder, a jumping cholla cactus and a joshua tree. Every turn of the road led to an even more amazing image. I finally gave up and bought a picture book at the park gift shop. I have watched a 20 minute film and driven around the park for nearly 6 hours and still can not explain the geology in spite of reading about 100 detailed interpretive signs. So I finally gave up and simply turned myself over to wow and awe. Son Rob and his wife Wendy have climbed among these rocks and they claim this park is the greatest. They tried to prepare me. Well I would try to prepare you too but, if you have not experienced Joshua Tree put it on your personal bucket list. More wonderful places to see and experience before getting to Rob's. Just think - 4 parks done, 16 to go! Aren't you glad I didn't show you all 50 photos!
Yes you found it the weirdest and most awesome place in the world. Master will not take me there but I will let you stretch your legs when you get to Poulsbo. Rudy
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, Jean. I would have happily looked at all 50 if you'd sent them! We started using LibraryWorld for circulation today. Now, that's been a long journey, but we finally arrived at our destination.
