Road Trip – The Trappes are trippin’.

a type of palm called the Joshua tree; half of the park is at altitudes high enough to have these trees in abundance

We got overly confident here.  We walked out into the desert so that Todd could boulder for a little while. It was only a couple of miles. For some reason, we did not carry any water.  Bad idea.  We walked in circles finding our way back to the parking lot.  It was a mild form of being lost in the desert.  

“Desert sky, dream beneath the desert sky.
The rivers run but soon run dry.
We need new dreams tonight.
Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and bows
Like a siren she calls (to me).” -from U2’s album JOSHUA TREE
