Joshua Tree has been on my hit list for a while. I bought a climbing book for J Tree even before I got back to the US. It is also a convenient "midway" point to camp between Yuma and San Diego.
Thanksgiving seemed like as good of a time as any to head out there. Cool fall weather in the desert. One of the reason for going was getting some last footage for Lele Kawa's Literally Living the Dream movie.
Unfortunately since I was the only rock climber in the group I didn't get to put the climbing book or gear to use. My hopes to use this trip to draw my friends into the world of rock climbing did not pan out. The best I was able to get was a little bit of scrambling and some easy bouldering, in addition to some hiking.
In addition to scrambling we did get to do some long boarding. There was even some long boarding at night that resulted in some good looking photos.
Our only attempt of the weekend at slack lining did not go so well. No makes.
We also stopped at Keys View to take in the valley.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the weekend were the nights spent around the camp fire.
