| Indian Cove Campsite |
Joshua Tree is another redo from our 2014 cross country trip. It is extremely popular in the winter and spring, but deserted in the summer and fall because of the high heat. Memorial Day is a peak time at the park. Unfortunately, with a 24’ motorhome, it can be difficult to find parking places when the park is full of people. We got to drive through the park, and fortunately, most people come in from the North. We came in at the South Entrance, drove the 40 scenic miles to the North entrance. As we were leaving the park at 4:00, there was still a half mile of cars trying to get in.
As serendipity would have it, the only campground that we could make reservations at (they have added more reservable sites since we booked) was Indian Cove which has a separate entrance from outside the park. It’s quiet and remote and just as amazing, with huge boulders. We are camped next to a fairly small boulder, maybe 40’ tall but a good practice rock climbing place. Our camp neighbor is using his newly learned skills to climb our rock. His kids are having no problem, but he is just a little too out of shape for this. As he struggles with each step, Deb is squirming more and more. As he gets to about 30’ up, she can no longer handle the angst, and decided that her Fitbit is calling her to walk away and keep walking. He survived, she survived, we all lived to eat tuna casserole.
