Staggering Speeds

I'm in the Mojave desert and so loyal am I to blogging that I've even found time to make a quick post from here. Actually I was thinking I'd like to stay away from the computer entirely during my time here but it's been about 30 hours since my last time in front of a computer screen and I reckon that's adequate. Plus I've got an hour to kill.

Spent the day in Joshua Tree National Park, and if you've never seen a Joshua tree before you should really make an effort. Here there are vast plains dotted with hundreds of the aforementioned tree. It's pretty great. I'll post some pictures when I get back tomorrow.

A few points:

I've never met an unhappy Park Ranger. They all seem genuinely content and entirely happy with their jobs.

I haven't seen a road runner yet (yes, those really exist.)

Desert roads are straight and long and staggering speeds can be reached on them.

The high desert is cold, even in midday. I suppose it is February.

This keyboard sucks.
