Joshua Tree 4-25/26-10 Non Aviation

[ETAV8R]

Did a one night camping trip to Joshua Tree. Camped at White Tank and then returned via the Geology Tour and Berdoo Canyon. The pictures were taken with 3 different cameras, all Canon, G9, SD800, and my 5D. Had a wonderful quick trip and enjoyed the desert in a springtime bloom. Enjoy

What, is there something other than climbing at J-tree?

Great pictures...oh how I miss the desert.

-sighs-

Home, only four hundred miles away, but that still seems so far removed.

Cool stuff Eric. But what the hell did you do to the back of your truck? Is that clear cello plastic stuff? Oye.

I need to take a couple days off and get away myself. Maybe in June...

Edit. Huge style points if that is bug netting.

Also, the night shot, is that red streak a road with cars going up a hill off to the left?

How many points do I get? Yes it is mosquito netting. My tonneau cover is supported by four 4x4 posts which fit in a home made sleeping platform. Here's a link to some pics...

What is it with you and going to hot areas in June? That is when we went to the Panamints a couple years ago. That was an epic trip though. I want to do Saline Valley Road and Cerro Gordo. Maybe in a couple weeks?

The night shot was done with a four minute exposure and I painted the truck with light from my headlamp. The red portion is when I mistakenly walked by the camera with the red filter in place.
