HA! Not really...these two little homesteads are on the way into Joshua Tree National Park. They've been vacant for years. There was a huge storm up there yesterday afternoon and of course, hubby wanted to grab the cameras and head up there. Er...uh...it was RAINING! Fortunately, we arrived as the storm moved to the west of the park, out over Whitewater Canyon. Hey, Spare Parts, did you witness the storm? Apparently it rained 1/2 inch in 15 minutes! That's a lot of rain for an area that only gets 4 inches in a YEAR! There was water running through the streets and a lot of standing water around the park, but the park itself was clear and smelled wonderful~that wonderful wet, fresh, desert smell! We actually saw more animals in the park yesterday than all of our previous visits and I'll be posting about our trip all this week.
