After work was finished at the camp Mei, Diana, Tony and I headed back to Joshua Tree for four more days before my flight back to Denver. The weather was a little rough, but overall it was another great trip to the Josh.
It seems like the night sky is always wonderful while in the desert- the nights we were there were certainly no exception. In fact the sky exceeded normal conditions, as it happens we were there during a meteor shower. Certainly a highlight of the trip, all the nights we were there we saw lots of shooting stars, some really spectacular. Every once and a while you would hear a few people gasp as there eyes caught an exceptional streak across the sky.
The only down side to this trip was the weather. Sometime during the middle of the nights the weather turned on us. High winds, rain or sleet and freezing temperatures. So I was forced to sleep in the tent those nights. Normally I love falling asleep trying to keep my eyes open looking at the stars, but these nights I would have been forced to face the extremes and run back to the tent anyways, so I decided to start there.
Overall it was a great way to end my first trip to California. Tony and Mei certainly helped create some great memories for me- I am sure I will not be able to think of Joshua Tree without also thinking of them.
