Joshua Tree, California

Wednesday, June 17, 2009
We woke up early and took a walk along the creek. We took some final pictures of Oak Creek and then packed up and drove out. We headed to Flagstaff where we took I-40 west towards Lake Havasu. We left Lake Havasu around 3:30 in the afternoon with temperatures nearing 100. Katy then decided she was ready to be in California and convinced me to continue on to Joshua Tree National Park. We called ahead to the ranger station and found the temperatures to be in the high 80’s. We found a great little campsite at the Black Rock campgrounds on the northwest corner of the park. We were treated to an absolutely unbelievable sunset that night with the sky all shades of pink and purple.
