Last week I noticed that daytime highs in the southern section of Joshua Tree National Park were predicted to be in the high 80’s F. There was only one choice… go!
Desert in Autumn
I Need My Space
Over the past few months I have hiked in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and of course California among other places.
Other than California I found most trails to be in dense forests and most travel confined to trails, as cross country travel is difficult at best. These places are often confining, the sky is often hidden by a canopy of trees, and views are only possible by climbing up to a peak. Instead of forest duff, one deals with rocks and roots.
In spite of these obstacles, those places I traveled are beautiful in their own right and highly recommended.
But I prefer open spaces. Spaces where I can at almost any time position myself to see for miles and miles. The open spaces I am referring to are deserts.
Desert Time
Spent this weekend camping in the desert with Joyce. The previous two weekends we camped in the mountains where the nighttime temperatures dropped in the 30’s F. So instead of wearing layers of clothing and down coats, we were able to sit outside at night in shorts and T-shirts.
‘We’ need a new TV
A few days ago I posted an article titled, You need a new TV. I shared the conversation Joyce and I had about a possible new camper, and her perception that we need a new TV, or Tow Vehicle.
As it turned out, she was correct. We ended up getting a new camper and the new tow vehicle (TV), does an excellent job towing it.
After we took delivery of our new camper, Joyce declared, “We need a new TV!”
Milan 26RLS Solar System
As with our last camper, the very first mod we did to our Milan was to install a solar system.
