Joshua Tree: Trip Two

Joshua Tree was just too gorgeous for one day... we headed back for a second little journey of exploring the rocks and desert. It is such a beautiful place. This also happened to be the last time my little Mazda (Emmitt) got to go for a little road trip. He had a good little last run through the desert. :)

We found an old mill, a broken down abandoned building, and a couple of old vehicles out in the desert along a long hike. We climbed around the "Jumbo Rocks" - no skinned knees this time. These rock formations provide quite a spectacular landscape, and at times, faces staring back at you.

The sunset and starry sky gave us another beautiful show. Including an amazing wind storm at the top of a peak called Keys View. It was difficult to stand up at times, with gusting wind that wanted to blow everything off the top of that hill.
