Joshua Tree National Park

We spent 4 days in Black Rock Canyon campground in the park. It is almost uninhabited during the week, but fills up on weekends.

We met an interesting guy in the campground, Philly Joe, who has challenged himself to circumnavigate the contiguous 48 states in a canoe. So far he has paddled from the tip of Texas, around Florida, and up the East coast to Maine, and will begin again in the Spring. Read his inspirational story .
