March 7, 2013 Joshua Tree, CA

After a marathon couple of days driving ... we made it to Joshua Tree yesterday.  Had a good sleep and enjoyed touring the park today.  The weather has gotten quite cold (7-8C) and a strong wind so we had to hike briskly to keep warm!
The desert is fascinating and we're enjoying our stay here.  The town of Joshua Tree as well as the neighboring Twenty Nine Palms are pretty basic ... you can't get milk but you can get ANY kind of booze you want!  Not that that's a bad thing ...
Rosy is still doing great ... all systems seem to be 'go' and we've had no problems with anything.  What a relief!  It was fun driving around really fast today in our car on all the desert (mostly deserted) roads ... woo-hoo.
We are off tomorrow to points east ... somewhere in Arizona but not sure where just yet.  We'll look at some maps tonight and make a plan (sort of).
