Back home, off the front deck
After the time in Carlsbad and San Diego, we headed inland for the desert, crossing Anza-Borrego, stopping by the Salton Sea, and finally making our way to Joshua Tree. We apparently just missed the scorching temperatures - it probably wasn't much over 90 degrees the first day there, and the second day was a very comfortable 80's. Most things were past bloom, as we knew they would be, but we still found a few cacti and trees in bloom. The hiking was good, and the bouldering would have been wonderful - if only it was possible. How I wanted a good pair of leather gloves, and a good foot for scrambling!
We returned home on a plane, getting in mid-afternoon to our home desert - to rain and mid-50's temperatures! Quite a surprise! But it did make for a lovely evening over Wallula Gap.
