Boondocking with Leigh and Brian<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Boondocking<\/em> is what RV people call dropping anchor for the night someplace where you don’t have to pay.\u00a0 Apparently there are tons of public lands out there, particularly in the West, where this is allowed. So we met up with them just outside the northern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park in south-central California, and set up a little compound. Lots and lots of space…the dogs loved it, and it does have a certain charm, a little like being out on the ocean…<\/p>\n

We drove through Joshua Tree from south to north. Although we had been here before many years ago, I had not realized how huge the park is. There aren’t so many Joshua trees in the southern part, but there are other cactus, and many were just starting to bloom. There are areas with expanses of cholla<\/em> and others with expanses of ocotillo<\/em>. A wild and beautiful place…<\/p>\n
