Cactus, Sandstone, Cold Nights!

We visited in January, and should have been better prepared! :) I know better, but we didn't check the conditions well enough, and froze our butts the first night! The campground was beautiful, and the desert at Joshua Tree and around is really special. The campsites are kinda open to the wind, but the star cover was amazing, and surroundings were beautiful. If only we had more clothing that night....

Make sure to check the low and high temps to plan accordingly. The dessert has been know to test adventurers, so travel safely. There are some amazing features in this park, including Skull Rock. We like weird stuff, so this was really cool. The cactus all around are spectacular also.

Beware of the Chollo! The "jumping cactus" have been know to cause sever pain to those who don't pay attention to their surroundings!
