joshua tree

this will be a post about all the fun adventures that I have had in Joshua tree. So the first time I went there it was with a friend of mine. We totally went there sour of the moment. we ended up getting there around 12 or 1 in the morning. From there we took out are sleeping bags and just slept in the open air. I remember feeling so small while I looked up in the sky and seeing all the stars, thinking that God had made all this. It makes you feel like your a nothing, but then you realize that He loves you and never forgets you. When I woke up the sun was shining on me and I had felt like a ton of bricks had hit me on the head.The only part that sucked was the fact that I totally missed morning devotions the next day. By the time that we woke up and got on the road it was 9 in the morning so we go back around 11 am. Right as lunch was starting it was pretty awesome.

second time around :) 

So I ended up convincing my roomate  that we should go to Joshua tree for a camping trip. So we packed up his already packed and cluttered car it ended up having a lot of things that we needed on the trip. We ended up getting there pretty late and we made a small fire it was in the national park but it was really flat. we woke up and ended up going exploring to  the rest of the park to find rocks that we could climb on. we ended up finding some ridiculous rocks that were amazing to boulder. Oh  did I mention that I also learned how to boulder yea it was really awesome.  after that I was really tired so we ended up going the wrong way for about an hour we realized this. We see the sign for Arizona that's when we realized that  we were going the wrong way. it was a lot of fun, even though we didn't get back until like five o clock. it was such a blast though.


third time around.:)
anyways me and my old high-school friend Matt ended up going here, again during the night though so it was really hard to find when everything looks the same. so we ended up finding it after trying to eat a party platter of sushi and a large pizza. we had to leave early the next day but it was the first time that I camped at the cool rocks that we bouldered the trip before. from there we went to camp pendelton and thats another story for another time.


fourth time around:)
well it the weekend of my birthday so i rounded up some of my friends and asked them if they wanted to go. they said yea of course  before i knew it there were many people that I had to ask a friend of mine if I could borrow his car. he totally said yes I was so excited. So I rounded up all of my friends and off we went. Backtrack a little bit that day I had to do my m1 which was all during the night, but I didn't get to sleep the night before so I stayed up all night. and the day before because i had mail in the mail room and then I had to go get my Laundry from my friends house after talking to her for a while it was 10:30 thenI went out to lunch with the cooks from germany. They paid our lunch was great and after talking to them it was 12:30 and I had to pack. So from there I got there in one peice and for some reason couldn't go to bed until 8:30 that night. That was the first day, the second day will soon follow so after we all woke up we went exploring for a while and did some rock climbing seen some huge lizards and then ust chilled. we ended packing up camp a little early but it  was worth it.
