Wednesday Dec 15 I woke up early and decided to finish up some quick work things from the previous couple days. 2 hours later, I was cranky, irritated that we weren’t already on a trail and that things seemed to be taking longer all the time....
Monday Dec 13 We left Joshua Tree Monday morning without a real schedule or time frame beyond a loose plan for the next 11 days, and being back in Denver by Christmas Eve. We stopped at the Joshua Tree visitor’s center for some souvenirs, and then...
