For this trip, we forwent the meteor shower and looked at the flowers. Photos here.

We spent one night in town at our normal spot, the High Desert Inn, and saw the California Celts at the Joshua Tree Saloon. It’s the local’s bar and sometimes gets a little rough. It was mellow this night, probably because of the band.

The next day we had breakfast at the Crossroads Cafe and then…flower photography. Groan. I was not as thrilled by this trip as Shellyeah, but it’s always a good time when you get out of Long Beach.
