we had a BLAST this past weekend..... it ended up being 3 days of fun.... the campers friday night and their adventures finding a site in a very full vacation-weekend park (we never did find them til it was too late to drive all the way to where they were!!!)..... the road ride saturday with some brrrrrr cold weather.... the post meal margarita-fest.... and for those that remained a 2nd night.... a crash and burn mtb ride on sunday! there are a gizzilion pictures posted over at bikeforums.... in three different threads.... so i will send you over there if you'd like to see some of the fun (and shenanigans!)

Post Ride Threads:

My old stomping grounds! My sister and I used to park at the west gate (Joshua Tree) and ride to the look out point, can't for the life of me remember the name of it but it was sure a pretty ride.

Thanks for the pictures, gawd makes me (almost) miss the desert. Sigh.

key's view...

and sorry the links with the photos at the other forum are dead they had a BAD crash and we lost all three of the VERY picture laden threads.... *pout*

I was gunna say that but for some reason it didn't sound right, LOL.

I saw most of the pics before the crash, enjoyed them immensely!

There is no place like Joshua Tree (was) National Monument, oh unless of course you go west through Yucca Valley to Pioneer Town! The rocks there are just like the formations in JT. I've ridden up there quite a lot too the Pie Town/Pipes Canyon loop is a beauty too.

Sorry for the hijack......the rainy northwest does make me long for the desert every now and again, sigh.
