For Thanksgiving, we spent time in wild west at
Joshua Tree.
Here is the brief explanation about this place;
"The higher and cooler Mojave Desert is the special habitat of Yucca brevifolia, the Joshua tree for which the park is named. It occurs in patterns from
dense forests to distantly spaced specimens. In addition to Joshua tree
forests, the western part of the park includes some of the most
interesting geologic displays found in California's deserts. The
dominant geologic features of this landscape are hills of bare rock,
usually broken up into loose boulders.
The rock formations
of Joshua Tree National Park were formed more than
100 million years ago from the cooling of magma beneath the surface into monzogranie, with roughly rectangular joints. Groundwater then filtered through the joints to erode away the corners and edges to create rounded stones, and flash floods washed away covering ground to create piles of boulders.
These prominent outcrops are known as inselbergs. "
apology, they are quotes from Wikipedia..... better that way.
breath taking, overwhelming, we were exact opposite side of where we live.
plus, we cooked awesome turkey at national park on thanksgiving day.
now I am convinced that I have not seen nothing yet about this country.
I am on my way to discover deep side of wild wild west. Join me?
