The R-Pod Chang rides again! We had a smooth crossing from Surprise, AZ (outside Phoenix) to Yucca Valley, CA into the Mojave Desert yesterday. Arrived and set up at our lovely little campsite in the far Northwest corner of the Joshua Tree National Park.
Very pretty site, and with little light interference and at 4,000 ft. elevation the stars are pretty spectacular as well.
Today we got up early (sunrise is now at 6:30am, here in the Western Time Zone), and despite trying to diagnose a battery charging issue, we decided for a hike on the Panorama Loop Trail, and a side spur up to the Warren View. A total of 1100 ft. elevation gain, and a 3 hour 7+ mile hike. Pretty exhausting, but beautiful desert scenery, lots of skinks, some birds, and panoramic views. Quite nice.
Oh, and lastly, an early Happy Valentines Day to all of you!
