Palm Springs and Joshua Tree NP

---

Hot Hot Hot. It is indeed desert, so that explains the temperature. Today we visited Joshua Trees National Park. A huge park with these peculiar trees everywhere and with round rock formations in background. Nice photo opportunities. The nice thing about the park that it is really set up for a 'car visit'! So, we turned on the airco and enjoyed the ride! 😊

We spotted egghorns and even several Road Runners (you know: beep-beep - from the cartoon) but they're too quick and we didn't manage to get a picture... Better luck futher down the road, maybe in Arizona.

And we also saw the famous fault of Saint Andreas... It was a bit hazy - but it was clearly to be seen. We just hope it stays still while we're around!

Palm Springs is a cute little town in the middle of the desert surounded by wind mills! I thought they were serious about it in Holland - hmmm - you better check out the amount of wind mills around here!!! They are not kidding about the renewable energy... for sure they are trying.

Well, we'll now go for a nice little steak around here and then tomorrow do one of the longer pulls - to Arizona!
