Driving the road thru the joshua tree forest

Somewhere in Lanfair Valley, next to the bus I think

This is on the Fort Piute Trail

This is the Fort Piute Valley / Canyon, you can see the remains of the fort in the lower left. The was running water in the stream.

Camped at Fort Piute

Cool old corral


Lots of petroglyphs along the way





Joshua Tree forest

Old cabin along the way

The Lava Beds near the Lava Tubes, this stuff is really hard to walk on!

Parked somewhere, can't remember but apparently I went for a walk...

Enough black & white, here is some color stuff from the Nexus 7

Great pics. I've been wanting to drive this road for years. I even bought the manual. Didn't realize there were so many petroglyphs. That's a nice bonus. I love Ilford, but have never used it with a filter. Nice job on those.
ReplyDeleteHey Derek, you should do it, just take a weekend and go as fas as you can, it was fun. My friend also had the book, he had one of the very early versions that is quite different I guess then the newer ones. Lots of things to see along the way so be sure to stop and look around, you can always go back and finish the road another trip, that is what we will have to do.
