If you've been keeping up on these blog posts I hope that you're enjoying them! After leaving Palm Springs we traveled through the Joshua Tree National Forest. It was cold. Probably about 35 degrees Fahrenheit, though I would have liked to explore some of the trails had we packed along some of our winter jackets. Though we also probably couldn't have done any extra exploring since we were somewhat limited in what we could do with my grandfather, who doesn't like to do much that doesn't involve a spot to sit. As we drove through I started to miss my best friend..and my goldfish. 
 The park offered many lookouts and I couldn't help but also imagine that the scenery would be perfect had dinosaurs roamed about (which thankfully they do not).
