[...] March, Waits and Jeremy and I woke up at dawn in a strange, surreal little truck stop/casino on the California-Nevada border. Our trunk was stuffed with pick axes and shovels and Gatorade, just [...]

That’s soooo awesome!! I want to take Waits solo camping, I’ve done it with a mom friend and her kiddo, but never as the only adult. It sounds so fun! Looking forward to the pics. =)

Aww that’s awesome! I loved Joshua Tree and can’t wait to go back!

When I was 19 I lived in a van for 5 months and drove all across the US. We hit 38 states. It was one of the best experiences of my life . . . I should write about it some day!

I’m always so amazed by how deserts are so different from one another, even just in California! And when I went to Arizona? It’s like a whole other world. I’ve never been to New Mexico but it seems like an absolutely gorgeous state!

Been there too….first stop Palm Springs (I love that town), then Mojave desert and Joshua tree, climbed up the same mountain formation as you did. Nice memories come up when I see your pictures and report. One day you should tackle driving across the U.S. – it’s quite an adventure. We did many moons ago when we moved to So-Cal from NYC.

Once again I’m tracking alongside this account of your trip…I just got back from a driving trip from NM to Las Vegas (for a work conference) and now I’m dreaming up a trip back to Nevada for desert camping and a kayak trip on Lake Mead. What a gorgeous state! I live in the desert surrounded by mountains and I love that the NV desert/mtns was so different than mine and so stunningly gorgeous. I’m glad I can see the beauty and majesty in the desert like you do – I talk to some people who just can’t see it as anything other than drab or dead, which is sad.
