Joshua Tree National Park

Last night the Park tripled its occupancy with the arrival of troupes of boy scouts and rock climbers.  It appears that the boy scouts do not have a patch for ability to keep public toilets clean. 

There went the neighborhood.

We did our laundry in Twenty-nine Palms, a small desert town inhabited by young couples tied to the Marine military base here.  The couples are fresh faced and don’t have much money but he has a job.  In this economy these couples probably count themselves lucky.

We decided to leave tomorrow, a day early, and head for Tehachapi, another small desert town in the Mohave Desert, on the way to Morro Bay.  We believe that there is an RV park in Tehachapi that has wireless internet service.  We have been unable to upload any of these missives to our travel blog because of the lack of internet service here.  We hope we can connect tomorrow.

And then watch the Oscars.
