JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA

Seven and a half hours down, seven and a half back up. Driven alone. Three days. A total of eight hours of sleep. Joshua Tree was a blur. But the kind you want to happen again. And again. And again. I camped with two friends and we explored as much of the park as I think we could have done in the time that we had. I will never forget Kaess drinking from a gallon of milk in the Cholla Cactus Garden and I will never forget how good those bean and cheese burritos tasted after our first full day of exploring.
