We had decided that we would leave Indio on Sunday to go up to Joshua Tree National Park but the weather took a turn for the worse with predictions of high winds and possibly some light rain on Sunday and Monday. Well the wind came through but not until late on Sunday and into Monday, the rain was a non-event.
Since we were in town an extra day we met with Mike and Diane for supper at their favorite restaurant - RD RNNR (if this were a license plate you would read it as Road Runner). Very good food and service.
Tuesday dawned windy but sunny and warm so we loaded up and headed up the mountain to Joshua Tree. We decided to enter the park from the north in the hopes of snagging a walk-in site at Belle campground but no luck so we drove all the way to the southern entrance where we had reservations in the Cottonwood Spring Campground. Its a good thing John knows how to handle this big rig as it took a fair amount of maneuvering to park in our site.
There are two nice hikes out of this campground so once we were set up we took the shorter hike up to Mastodon Peak - only four plus miles!!
