The drive from Needles, CA, to Joshua Tree National Park on hiways 95 and 62 is a pleasure. These routes are lightly used two laners going thru miles of rugged desert uncluttered by development. The air is clear and clean smelling, the sky today was uninterrupted blue. Amazingly enough cell service was available over most of those deserted miles. I did see a solar powered tower of some sort, wonder if it did cell service...?
Joshua Tree Park was full of wildflowers, unfortuately I forgot to move the camera setting from the vista mode to the close up mode so most of the flower pictures I snapped are blurry. The Park is interesting both for its geologic aspects as well as the flora. I wonder if Joshua Tree Park is also considered a National Forest? The J trees are a forest aren't they, but I have never heard them described as a forest. Maybe they are not technically trees? Anyway, it makes an interesting looking forest.
