Well it's dead but I finally fulfilled a dream to find THE Joshua Tree over spring break. It was such a great experience. The kids and I drove for 19 hours to find it and it was a beautiful drive. Next time I will be sure to take three days instead of one. When we got there the kids were freaking out. I had to get Sis out of the car as she was asleep and the boys just went running. We had a fly over by an F-16 out of Edwards Air Force base and I brought some of the dirt home around it (I spread some of the dirt in our garden so now I feel like I'm partaking of part of a rock 'n' roll icon when I eat the salsa I made out of the tomatoes from the garden. Yeah...I'm a geek).
The best part was sharing that adventure with my kids. Next time Zabreskie Point in death valley.
Forgot this. If you have an old cassette from the album open it up and check the mountain range and you'll see where the tree was. Pretty cool!
