02/05/2019 • From Hoover Dam to Joshua Tree
• This 2 day trip runs from LA north towards Las Vegas, then follows the Colorado River south to Parker, when we cross the river and head back to the west, towards Los Angeles.
6th part • Day 2 • Oatman, AZ
• Crossed back over the river into Arizona. We headed up to the area of the town of Oatman. A very beautiful area with lots of big rocks. And more burros - everywhere!

8th part • Day 2 • CA-62 toward 29 Palms
• Once across the river, we followed CA-62 to the town of 29 Palms. Our son Joey was stationed here for a while when he was in the US Marine Corp. This stretch of highway is another one of those I love. Wide open spaces, with very little traffic.

• Once at 29 Palms we entered the Joshua Tree National Park, and headed up to Keys View, from where we could see Palm Springs and Mt. San Jacinto. After this we headed back to LA.
