Yesterday we visited Joshua Tree National Park, it's just a jump away from where we're at right now, and it's in the Mojave Desert. We got ambitious and decided to take a hike to Lost Horse Mine which is about half way into the park. Did I mention it's uphill? Up, up, up we went....there was a fire some time ago so we encountered quite a few charred Joshua trees and Cactus. We went through a canyon, and the wind that whipped through the canyon made us remember why we're NOT in MN! So, we got close to the mine and found it all fenced off, oh well, such is life. So we hiked back down the mtn! All in all we went 3.65 miles, it was pretty in a different kind of way...I have some photos for you!
